You know how you have been hearing Christmas music in the stores since about mid-September? And you’ve been seeing Christmas ads on TV since about mid-August? And your kids have had their Christmas lists ready since about mid-July? It’s all just a little crazy, isn’t it? I mean, it feels like the holidays and all their fan-fare arrive earlier and earlier every year. Well, the Beloit Public Library has crazy beat by a mile. As far back as April, we were already thinking about December programs and Christmas.
Whether it’s making reindeer ornaments (Arts and Crafts, Thursday December 8th at 4:00 p.m.), folding origami Santas (Tween Program, Wednesday December 14th at 2:00 p.m.) or creating graham cracker gingerbread houses and Kwanzaa placemats (4H Funtertainment, Tuesday December 27th at 6:30 p.m.), almost all of the Youth Services programs in December have a holiday theme. Heck, we even have good ol’ Father Christmas himself coming to the library on Saturday December 10th at 2:00 p.m. Terry Lynch, from Histories for Kids, will perform “The Legend of St. Nicholas” where kids and their families will learn about Christmas traditions from around the world. Ever wonder why we hang Christmas stockings? Or why we have Christmas trees? Come to the library and find out.
Off course, we didn’t forget the teens and the adults. Teens can design their own holiday-themed cupcakes at our Cupcake Design program on Wednesday December 14th at 4:00 p.m. And adults will learn about Healthy Holiday Eating on Tuesday December 6th at 6:00 p.m.
