Sleigh Sighting Over Saline County!
Santa Visits Both Libraries this December
Santa is taking a break from his busy toy building schedule to visit us at Saline County Library to hear your Christmas wishes! He will be at the Benton library on Tuesday, December 12, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM and at the Bryant library on Thursday, December 14, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM. While you are waiting to visit with Santa, or after you have told him all you want for Christmas, you can enjoy some fun crafts and activities! Write a letter to Santa to remind him of that extra-special something you asked for, or to assure him that you really have been good this year! You can also make your own Santa beard and practice your Ho-Ho-Hos, or practice your elf-skills and play a present stacking game. Children visiting Santa at the library will receive a Christmas gift while supplies last. Be sure to bring your camera to take photos of this special visit!
If you are unable to visit Santa at the library, you might also be able to catch him at a few other places around town before he heads back to the North Pole. Don’t miss your chance to see him!
