Mr. Claus has asked the Library to help him collect your letters this year. Remember to tell him how good you have been this year and all about the presents you want. Make sure to include your name and address on your letter so Santa is sure to find your mailbox. Letters should be placed in the special mail box in the Youth Services Room. We are collecting letters starting on November 23rd. Please make sure to get your letter to the Library by Saturday, December 14th so Santa Claus gets your request on time.
