Lights of Love Annual Tree Lighting and Celebration
Now in its 31st year, Lights of Love, presented by the Friends of the Elm Grove Library (FOEGL), is a treasured holiday tradition and the perfect way to kick off the festive season. This year’s celebration will take place on Sunday, December 7th from 3:30-5:30 PM. The afternoon will begin at 3:30 with children’s activities in the library, including a chance to visit with Santa, listen to stories read by Mrs. Claus, and craft a holiday keepsake. At 4:00, guests will be treated to an award-winning magic show by Glen Gerard in the O’Neill Room. Following the performance, everyone is invited outdoors to enjoy caroling led by Tom Leahy and local Girl Scouts as anticipation builds for the lighting of the village tree. After the lighting, guests are welcome to gather back inside for cake and refreshments, continuing the celebration among neighbors and friends.
Residents and supporters are encouraged to participate by making a donation to the Lights of Love campaign. Donations can be dropped off at the circulation desk, made online here, or mailed to Lights of Love, PO Box #5111, Elm Grove, WI 53122.
Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of Friends and donors, Lights of Love continues to brighten both our library and our community year after year.
