Holiday Story Times & Programs at Mentor Public Library

Sienna and her mom sing along during a Deck the Halls story time at Mentor Library.

It's a very special time of year. It's time for peace on earth, decking the halls and stocking stuffing.

And, at Mentor Public Library, it's also story time!

We are hosting special story times throughout December at all of our branches to celebrate the season.

We have Deck the Halls story times with Christmas stories, songs and crafts at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 10, and Wednesday, Dec. 16, at our Main Branch.

That's just the beginning. We have:

• a special story about the tradition of tinsel at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17, at our Main Branch. Kids will also make a fun, take-home craft and enjoy cocoa and cookies.
• our annual Headlands holiday party at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19. Kids can listen to Christmas stories, sing songs and make crafts at our Headlands Branch.
• Kids from three to seven can take a trip on the Polar Express with us on Monday, Dec. 21, at our Main Branch.
• We'll also have a special Holiday Rhyme Time for families on Tuesday, Dec. 22, at our Lake Branch.



Kids decorate cookies during our Deck the Halls story time.

It's not just young kids who get to have all the fun either. We're hosting a holiday party for teens at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 12, at our Main Branch. They'll be cookies, pizza and the ugliest Christmas sweater wins a prize!

All of these programs are free, though some of them require registration beforehand. You can sign up on our online event calendar or by calling the library.

Happy Holidays!
