Letters to Santa

It’s that magical time of year again! 

Sharpen your pencils and gather your best holiday wishes—it’s time to write a letter to the one and only Santa Claus! Starting Saturday, November 22, visit the Library to find our special Letters to Santa writing station, complete with festive paper and a bright red North Pole Mailbox.

Once your letter is ready, drop it into the mailbox and wait for a reply straight from Santa himself! 

Just don’t forget to include your first and last name, your grown-up’s email, and your address, so Santa knows where to send his magical response.

Our Letters to Santa program will close after our Very Vintage event on December 13—so get those letters in before the sleigh takes off!
