Enjoy The Seattle Public Library's fantastic winter celebrations this week. The festivities will include video games, board games, crafts and pizza. Fancy!

The programs are free and open to the public, and no registration is required. Free parking is available in the branch parking lots.

Times and locations are:

Wednesday, Dec. 10 from 3 to 5 p.m., at the Wallingford Branch, 1501 N. 45th St. (Note: this is a tight space -- get there early and expect a party.)

Friday, Dec. 19 from 1:30 to 4 p.m., at the University Branch, 5009 Roosevelt Way N.E. (Not a lot of parking available, so factor the driving-around-looking-for-a-spot part into your equation.)
