Winter Wonderland: Holidays Around the World!

Oct 302024
 

Saturday, December 14, 2024 from 1-4pm at the library.

Patrons of all ages are invited to join us for a winter celebration. Grab a friend and your ugliest holiday sweater and make time for some fun with your neighbors this season.

Look for the DJ with the snow machine on our Powell Street sidewalk between 1 and 2pm. Watch out for snowballs.

We’ll have music, games for kids and adults, a hot chocolate bar, a winter photo set for your holiday pictures, gift making, gift wrapping, a wall of memories to say good-bye to our building before the renovation, and visits from Olaf and Frosty (1:30-2:30pm).  This event is free, but there will be a bake sale to benefit the Friends of the Library. (Donations are welcome.) You may also want to check out our Friends’ used holiday children’s books for sale while you are here.
