The Tulare County Library branches will have visits from the North Pole Senior Citizen during the week of December 17 through 22. In preparation for his visit, children will be able to write letters, on holiday stationary, to give him. Santa will talk with the children and hand out candy canes. He'll collect the letters the children have written earlier, and take them to Macy's as part of the Make A Wish program.
In
addition, the branches will offer holiday crafts for children to make for gifts
or decorations. The kids may choose from
Christmas Tree, Jingle Bell Necklace, Snowman Ornament, Personalized Ornament
or Gingerbread House Photo Ornament crafts.
For the Gingerbread House craft, library staff members will take the
child's picture, which can be inserted in the frame. Seasonal themed paper will be available for
children who wish to wrap their crafts as gifts for parents or teachers.
These
holiday activities will take place at different times during the week at the
Alpaugh, Dinuba, Earlimart, Exeter, Ivanhoe, Lindsay, Orosi, Pixley,
Springville, Strathmore, Three Rivers, Tipton and Woodlake branch libraries.
The
Visalia main library will also take part in the Macy's Make a Wish letter
writing campaign. Instead of children's
crafts, the Tween Ductivities program on Thursday, December 19, will feature a
seasonally themed project. To wrap up
the holiday activities, Christmas films will be shown all day, Saturday,
December 21, in the Visalia library.
