The Bookmark Project: Winter Vibes
Updated: Jun 9, 2025
On a night like this
I can’t get any sleep
The air is so cold outside
And the snow’s so deep
Build a fire, throw on logs
And listen to it hiss
And let it burn, burn, burn, burn
On a night like this
—Bob Dylan, “On a Night Like This”
If not for you
Winter would have no spring
—Bob Dylan, “If Not for You”
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
—Robert Frost, “Dust of Snow”
To begin with, please forgive the unreasonable number of epigraphs, but I could not part with any of them. Many soul-stirring words have been written about winter, the coldest and darkest season, and if you’re not spending the winter in South Florida, chances are you will experience at least some snowfall, icy conditions and freezing temperatures before it’s over. Even here in Palm Beach County, there’s been a chill in the air. Whether you dread winter weather, or find it exhilarating, I hope you will take time to relax with a mug of hot cocoa and enjoy this Winter Vibes ‘found items’ collection. A photo taken from a balcony of the empty snow-blanketed night street below, a note of encouragement written in a New Year’s card during the Covid lockdown, a letter written to family and friends expressing gratitude at the start of a new year and a drawing of the regal Snowy Owl are among the objects that seemed appropriate for a January grouping. Sending warm wishes for a happy new year from the Friends volunteers!
The Bookmark Project is an ongoing effort by Friends Bookstore volunteers to collect all items left in donated books. We are incredibly grateful to our book donors as they allow us to offer gently used books to the public at affordable prices, which in turn allows us to fund major library programs and projects.

I really like the way this article presents information in a clear and practical format. 9k The explanations are easy to understand, and the headings make it simple to find relevant details. Readers who are new to the topic can benefit from this organized approach. Adding a few more examples and answering additional common questions would make the content even stronger. Overall, this is a useful read for anyone looking for straightforward information without unnecessary complications.
Your words have a beautiful way of turning ordinary emotions into meaningful poetry. I liked how the shayari does not depend on difficult words or complicated expressions. Instead, the love shayari in hindi feelings are presented naturally and honestly. Some lines reminded me of moments when we wanted to say something but chose silence instead. That emotional connection makes the piece special. It is peaceful, thoughtful, and easy to relate to. Truly lovely writing from beginning to end.
i really enjoyed the winter theme of this collection, especially the way the poems connect with the found items from donated books. the idea of discovering old notes, cards and drawings between the pages gives each object a little piece of personal history. it’s also a lovely reminder that used books can carry memories and stories beyond the text itself. during my browsing, i also came across avia masters
bangercasino I really like the atmosphere of this collection. The combination of cold winter nights, snow, fire and the quiet imagery of the crow creates a strong feeling of reflection and nostalgia. The short excerpts work especially well together because they capture different sides of winter, from loneliness and darkness to warmth, hope and a change in mood.
This is the kind of article I enjoy reading because it provides useful knowledge without making the content difficult or unnecessarily complicated for ordinary readers.
