I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. We thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic fun and decorations through December here in the youth department.
Some of our successful Christmas programs this season included Festival of Trees and Pictures with Santa, Elf-on-the-Shelf I Spy, a Stuffie Sleepover, and a Santa Letter drawing. In total, we received around 150 letters to Santa.
We want to give a big thank you to all those who participated in these delightful events and congratulations again to our Santa Letter drawing winner. Now, on to 2025.
No youth programs through Jan. 10
During the busy holiday season, the youth department will take a little break from our weekly programs. We will resume Storytimes and other regular programs on Jan. 14 with Rhyme & Shine: Baby Storytime.
Don’t worry, we still have some fun special programs planned for your children during the break.
Winter reading Challenge
If you haven’t yet, don’t forget to stop by the youth department for your “Winter Reading Challenge” sheet. Follow the directions and color in each snowflake by reading 20 minutes a day. Turn your challenge sheet back in on Fridays by 5 p.m. to be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a Barnes & Noble gift card.
We will have two more drawings and chances for your child to win — the upcoming turn-in dates being Jan. 3 and Jan. 10.
