This year youths can write a letter to Santa and bring it to the library for a special delivery because the library has a direct line to the North Pole and Santa’s mailroom.

Any time between now and Dec. 13, pick up a special paper for your child’s letter at the front desk or you can email Katie at katieh@tonganoxielibrary.org to receive it via email.

Then just bring it back when finished and drop it in our special Santa mailbox by Fri., Dec. 13th. Santa will mail back a special letter for each child, just in time for Christmas.

Just a few angels left on the Angel tree

The library’s annual Angel Tree kicked off on Nov. 22 with 111 angels, but there are still quite a few remaining.

This year is the highest number of angels the library has had! Each angel represents a senior in our community with a gift wish. Come pick an angel off the tree and come to the front desk to select a gift recipient. Your generous gift helps make their holiday just a little brighter. Every year library staff hears how appreciative recipients are for the gift and to be remembered.

Stop by and grab an angel before they all fly away!
