From the Director's Desk:

The most wonderful time of the year is best celebrated with merry events at your local library!  Children can make one last case for the Nice List while Santa visits the Sherrard Library on December 8th (pre-registration required) - those who registered for Santa Letters in November may return their child's letter directly to Santa at this event.  Otherwise, letters must be returned to the library by December 9th to receive a reply from Mr. Claus.  Families and older siblings are welcome to attend for an adorable photo op!

Children may also enjoy an extra-sweet PJ's & Pancakes Storytime, featuring read aloud stories, crafts, pancakes, and a goodie bag to-go!  This small scale environment is perfect for littles to build their social and listening skills, develop fine motor movements, and can be paired with 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten.  Older children up to age 12 are welcome to attend - perfect for homeschool families!

If crafting isn't your thing, get out of the house and join our Book Club discussions!  Afternoon Book Club and Evening Book Club each meet once per month, and offer different reading selections to discuss with community members.  Registration is not required, but if you'd like your book selection pre-ordered, please contact the library to join our membership list.

Registration for December programs opens November 21st at 10 AM
