If you see kids filing in to Perry Memorial Library Wednesday evening in their pj’s and slippers, don’t be alarmed. They’re just following instructions from Youth Services Librarian Melody Peters – it’s Pajama Storytime at the library!
With temperatures more in line with what it’s supposed to feel like in early December, the kiddos may want to choose footie pajamas to keep their toes toasty warm for the half-hour program, which begins at 6:30 p.m.
Can’t make it to the Wednesday Story Time? Then head out to the Vance County Regional Farmers Market Saturday morning for a cookie-themed story time and program.
The library is pulling out all the stops for Saturday afternoon’s Christmas Parade in downtown Henderson, Peters said.
‘We have a float this year!” she exclaimed, to extend the library’s centennial celebration into the holiday season. It’s a professional float called “The Peppermint Princess,” she said.
“I thought we should celebrate (the 100th anniversary) a little bit more,” Peters said, and a professional float is sure to be a hit along the parade route.
A part of the library will be transformed into a movie theater at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10, in response to demands to bring back a favorite Christmas flick, The Polar Express.
“People love to watch the big movie on the big screen,” she said. Pajamas optional, and there will be hot chocolate and cookies for refreshments.
The final make-and-take workshop of 2024 will take place on Saturday, Dec. 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. There will be something for all ages to create, Peters said. Teen volunteers will be stationed beside a festive holiday backdrop to snap photos of the whole family.
Find time to make some holiday reading selections before the library closes Dec. 24-26 for the Christmas holiday.
