Children’s events will be featured in the Des Peres Branch Library during December. Any adults who’d care to join the children for these programs are always welcome, however.
On December 3 at 4 p.m., Mrs. Roberts will give the children an introduction to the Jewish Hanukkah celebration—its origin and how it is celebrated. There will also be a Hanukkah display in the display case
On December 11, children are invited to come after school and make decorations for the library Christmas tree. We’ll decorate it as we go, and donations of colored paper, yarn scraps, etc., are needed for the project. Any adults who’d like to spend some time helping the children are welcome, too.
And finally, on December 17 at 4:30 we will have the children’s Christmas party. The two main events will be a Punch and Judy puppet show (a Christmas tradition in England), and a “visit from St Nicholas.” Probably children from three up would find something to enjoy at this party.
Regular pre-school story hours will be held on Fridays, December 5, 12 and 19, at 10:30 a.m. and at 1 p.m.
The Des Peres Library Staff wishes everyone a happy holiday season.
