Princess Beauty Visits the Library
Saturday, December 1, 11am
Children's Room
Join us at the library for a visit from Princess Beauty. She will tell her story, sing a song, and meet with each of you for a photo opportunity. Once you have registered, you will receive an email message from me, Miss Laura, confirming your registration as well as giving you the number for the photo op - your number is based on the number of your registration. We will have holiday activities to keep your little ones entertained while they wait for their turn for a picture and we will have some light refreshments as well. Coinciding with this visit is our Toys For Tots Donation Drive so a new, unwrapped present is appreciated but NOT required. Because we are expecting a large turn out for this event, we ask that you please call and let us know if you find you are unable to attend after having registered - this helps us move the line along and shortens the wait time for the children.
