The ladies at the De Queen Branch Library hope you have a Holly Jolly Christmas and remember the reason for the season. Beginning December 1st through December 15th 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).
Our 10th Annual Cocoa with Mrs. Claus will be December 18th at 11:00 am. There will be a story time, make a Christmas character, and paint by sticker for the first 30 children. There might even be some Christmas carols and or a special visitor.
