Santa Claus and his elves will be bringing storytime and crafts to the Norfolk County Public Library to celebrate the Christmas spirit.
Norfolk County Public Library is providing a variety of programs at its five branches. Storytimes with Santa and holiday crafts have become the focus of bringing people together. All programs are by registration only.
“This gives children and adults a chance to make a craft and give it to someone they love for Christmas,” said Jennifer Carrier, NCPL community engagement coordinator. “Storytime with Santa allows families to visit our branch on a Saturday and listen to some holiday stories and take a picture as well.”
The Storytime with Santa schedule includes the following:
Dec. 6 at Delhi at 11 a.m.
Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. at the Port Dover Branch with the Grinch.
Dec. 13 at 11 a.m. at the Simcoe Branch and 2 p.m. at the Port Rowan Branch.
Holiday craft workshops for kids will take place between 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
Dec. 6 will be at the Port Rowan Branch.
Dec. 13 at the Delhi Branch.
Holiday Craft workshops for adults will also take place at 5:30 p.m.
Dec. 4 at the Simcoe Branch.
Dec. 11 at the Port Dover Branch.
Dec. 18 at the Waterford Branch.
“During the holidays, or really, any time of year, there’s such importance in promoting literacy and the love of books, but also in taking time for one another,” said Carrier. “Hosting these events gives families a chance to come in from the cold, feel warm and get cozy, and spend some quality time together."
Carrier said that workshops and story time sessions provide people the opportunity to step away from the Christmas hustle by spending a present moment with family members and friends. For registration information, visit NCPL.ca for more details.
