Mrs. Kringle's visit

It was the ninth of December when all through the library the bells started to jingle?

Mrs. Kringle

Lo and behold! It was Mrs. Kringle!

The children were smiling from ear to ear.

They knew that Christmas is near.

A lot of FUN was had by one and all!

Toys for Tots

It is here!  The red metal bin has transformed itself into a white cardboard box, but the spirit behind it has remained the same: to help every child experience the joy of Christmas.  Please drop off new unwrapped toys at our library by Friday, December 20, and the Marine Corps Reserve volunteers will deliver the gifts to children in need. 

What a wonderful opportunity to share happiness this holiday season!

Don't forget--collection runs through Friday, December 20, 2013.
