We love Christmas at HCPL!
Each year our program grows and this year it has a new name! Don’t worry it’s still very much “Christmas at the Library” but with an added twist. Bring the entire family to the library on Sunday, December 10th from 1:30-5.  We will have lots of fun activities, snacks, special guests, take home activities and much more! Also, feel free to bring a donation for our Annual Giving Tree Village!
