December Events at the Morton Library

 We are going to have a lot of exciting things going on in December!

First off we will be having a contest to see who can Disguise the best Gingerbread Man! Come by the library and pick up your Gingerbread Man and take it home and decorate it to look like something other than a Gingerbread Man. Bring it back to the Library by December 20th and We will pick the best disguise to win a prize.

Next, we will be having a special Letters to Santa! Come in the Library and make out your Christmas list and we will have a magical Santa mailbox where you can put your letter in and it will be sent to Santa as soon as you put it in the mailbox!

We will also have a Santa's Naughty and Nice list up for you to add your name to for Santa to see. You better be nice or Santa will know!

We hope you have a great and safe Christmas Holiday! Spend time with your family and read some Christmas stories. We have lots of Christmas books for you to choose from so come see us and get some books to read together as a family and make this Christmas one to remember!

Merry Christmas from the Morton Library!

What Would The Holiday Season Be Without Joyful Songs?

Well, come on now! That would be pretty bad!

That's why the Pearl Public Library wants to do their part in putting sweet songs in your heart!

THAT'S RIGHT! 

SO, the Library invites you and the whole family to celebrate the holiday season with the musical stylings of the Pearl Northside Singers Tues. Dec. 10 at 5:30 in Christmas Carols with Santa!

The night, of course, includes the big, jolly guy so get your cameras ready to snap a sweet photo of your little angel with Santa!

There will be pizza donated by Pizza Shack of Jackson, dessert and drinks as long as the supply lasts!

And, it's all FREE and no reservation is needed!

Plan on coming by for lots of cheer and great music!

We'll see you there!
