Sevier County December Library Snippets

Merry Christmas Y’all! We hope you all have safe travels and enjoy this Christmas season.

Our Annual Sweater Drive and Food for Fines in November was a success as always. Thank you to all who donated to help your community members. There will be lots of warm folks and full bellies for the holidays we hope.

Beginning December 1st your children will be able to write letters to Santa at the De Queen Library. Since we are not able to hold our 10th Annual Christmas Program due to COVID, we became creative. Area children can come in, receive a paper and envelope, write their letter to Santa, drop in our special mailbox and raise the flag. There is a trick to this so read carefully, your child’s name and address needs to be on the envelope in order to receive a reply from the north pole(wink).

The first 30 children that come in to fill out and mail their letter to Santa, will receive a craft to put together with Kelsie on December 16th during our Christmas virtual story time on facebook.com/seviercountylibrary.

Kelsie will have our regular scheduled virtual story time December 2nd she has got something good up her sleeve so you don’t want to miss it.

Ho Ho Ho and a big Merry Christmas from the Horatio Library. This year has been much different than the ones we have seen in the past. Unfortunately, Covid doesn’t care if its Christmas or not. Our priority has to be the safety of our patrons so we will not be having our annual Christmas Party. On December 12th, on our Facebook page, we will have our online Christmas Story and activities for you to do with your kids. Come by the library and check out our Christmas selection. We have DVD’S such as The Polar Express. Children’s books like How to Catch an Elf and The Dog Who Thought He was Santa. We have adult authors suchs as Diana Palmer, Shelly Shepherd Gray and Fern Michaels. We have Jingle all the Way by Debbie Macomber which is currently on the Bestseller List. We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and safe and Happy New Year. We pray for a much better 2021. We hope to see you soon. Call Amy for more information at 832-6882

Merry Christmas from the Gillham Library. Our Christmas Virtual Story will be December 12th on facebook.com/gillhamlibrary. Come and see us and check out a good book.
