Letters to Santa

The magic of the season is in the air as children get ready to send their Letters to Santa at the library! Starting Saturday, November 1, young writers can share their Christmas wishes and drop their letters into our special North Pole mailbox.

Parents, we’ll have letter templates, pencils, and plenty of holiday cheer waiting. Kids can decorate their letters with stickers and pretend stamps to make them extra special before sending them off.

The program will run through Saturday, December 13, to give Santa’s elves plenty of time to deliver letters from Santa.
