Westbank Libraries will host its Neighborhood Gathering event with miniature horses and cocoa on Dec. 18.

For one Sunday, the library’s backyard will be full of miniature horses and cups of hot cocoa from Trianon as well as coffee for the adults. Live holiday music will be provided by a quartet from Westlake High School, and guests are invited to put on a jacket and scarf, and join their neighbors for a “magical meet-up to welcome wintertime at Westbank.”

This free event will go from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at 1309 Westbank Drive, Austin. 512-327-3045. www.westbanklibrary.com/calendar
