With all the fun activities available in Red River, it’s hard to find time to do nothing at all. Here’s a suggestion: visit the Red River Public Library and check out a book or two.

If you’re visiting in the summer, find a comfy chair on the porch or under a tree. Bring a cold class of iced tea with you and enjoy the gentle mountain breeze while you get lost in a cozy mystery or heart-warming romance.

If you’re visiting in the winter, curl up in front of the fire with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. Snuggle into a soft quilt while your pulse thunders along with a bestselling thriller or one of the classics.

On page 259 of It’s In His Heart, Ella and her friends drive all the way into Santa Fe to pick up a new release. Not necessary in real life when you’ve got a wonderful library at your fingertips. What type of novel can you picture yourself reading while lounging in a hammock under a ponderosa pine? In front of a roaring fire while curled up in a blanket?
