It might be cold outside, but there are a host of activities planned to keep you warm in January at the Austin Public Library.

Still, January weather makes  a good theme for the month: You can enjoy the Tuesday film matinee series entitled, “The Weather is Criminal.” The series features the darker side of film, including “Touch of Evil,” “The Manchurian Candidate,” “Charade,” “The Maltese Falcon,” and “Strangers on a Train.” All films are scheduled for 2 p.m. on each Tuesday during the month. See the library website for dates.

Or, you can participate in the “Hot Reads for Cold Nights,” an adult and teen reading program that runs through March. There are prize drawings at the end of the program.
