Princesses Snow White and Rapunzel are coming for a visit! To help us celebrate the holidays we are having Snow White and Rapunzel come visit us - they will tell their stories, sing their songs, and take pictures with you! We will have light refreshments and activities to keep everyone busy as they wait their turn to meet the princeses and have their picture taken. We will also be collecting donations for Toys for Tots - a donation is not required but it will be very appreciated!
Registration is required. You can register by contacting the Plainville LIbrary either by phone or in person or online, in the drop down menu from the Children's Room header. Your place in line for photos will be determined by your registration number. You will be asked to provide an email address so a reminder message can be sent a week prior to the visit. If you find you are unable to join us for the visit after you have registered, we ask that you please contact us so we can adjust our reservations accordingly. We usually experience high volume of attendees for the Princess visits, therefore your communications with us are very helpful and appreciated. There is no charge to come visit the Princesses with us at the Plainville Public Library, their visit is brought to you by the generosity of the Friends of the Plainville Library, as an opportunity for the families of our community to come together and share some Holiday cheer!
