December Events at Your Library

Santa's Coming!

Join us on Saturday, December 16th, from 11:00am - 1:00pm, for a morning of stories, snacks, and a holiday craft with Santa, The Grinch, and CeCe Lou Who!

Free photo opportunities with Santa will be available during this event and all ages are welcome!

The Pop Up Book Sale is BACK!

Stuff the stockings, deck the halls, and help Santa load his sled with our gently used books that make great Christmas presents. Our three tables (plus our display in the library's main room) have fiction, nonfiction, and children's books priced from $1 to 25¢!

Like James Patterson? Browse our special 5/$1 selection of his work. We have over a hundred different titles!

Afternoon Unwind

Due to popular demand, Afternoon Unwind will continue through the end of the year -- yay! So come hang out and relax with us! FREE coffee, hot tea, and snacks every Friday afternoon in December from 3pm - 6pm.

This month is Wrapping Party Edition!

We invite you to bring your wrapping paper, tape, and gifts and finish your present wrapping at the library on our large tables with a coffee and away from prying eyes.
