Library Link
December 2016
Director's Note
Time to quickly take off our Thanksgiving hats and put our Christmas hats on! Do you decorate for Christmas right away after Thanksgiving? My kids are 11 and 8 and they are excited to see the tree go up so we decorate the weekend after. It is an event at my house- Christmas music and all! The library will be getting decorations out too. It will be great to see the new layout decorated!
The library has a wish list this year of items we could really use. These items are above and beyond what our budget can do this year. If you are in the giving spirit please consider looking at our Amazon list. We have a wide variety of items in a wide variety of price points. You may also donate in person at the library. Thank you so much!
It is going to be a busy month! Please check our Facebook and website to stay up to date! Have a wonderful holiday month!
