Santa at the Library December 2022
|
Despite the weather, Santa visited the Accomac
Library to give an age appropriate book to
children newborn to 12. We think the weather
kept a number of families from coming—in the
past couple of years, his visit had been an
outdoor event, so many probably thought it was
cancelled or postponed. A special
"thanks" goes to WESR, who broadcast
a current announcement that Santa was on site.
We think their message brought in most of the
30 children who came.
In typical Jolly Old Elf fashion, Santa made
good use of his time by coloring pictures and
going through toy catalogs with a few of his
more tentative fans.
Thank you to Carol and Scott Callander for
providing the "Santa's Workshop”
backdrop to enhance the photos.
Children through age 12 will receive an
age-appropriate book from the Jolly Old Elf
himself. Parents are encouraged to bring
their cameras to capture this special moment.
Save the Date: Santa will visit this year on
December 2nd from 10 until Noon. It will be
his first visit to the Parksley location.
He’ll be there Rain or Shine.

Although there have been more delays in the opening of the
new library — the interior is close to completion
including the Friends Book Shop. These photos were taken a
few weeks ago and we are excited to see such progress. The
room is now finished (being used for storage by
contractors) and we are awaiting delivery of the shelving.
None of this would have been possible without your support
over the years and the Board wants to extend our thanks to
everyone who helped.
All Friends are needed to help with the opening of the new
