Here’s how it works:
Write your letter using the special Santa stationery. Include your first and last name, caregiver’s email, and home address so Santa knows where to send his reply. Handwrite your address—it’s great practice, and Santa loves to see careful printing! Drop your letter into the bright red North Pole Mailbox at the Library. Wait for some Christmas magic! Santa’s helpers will prepare a reply just for you.When replies are ready:
Library staff will email you a digital copy of your child’s letter from Santa.
If you’d like to keep the original letter and a printed copy of Santa’s reply, they’ll be available for pickup at the front circulation desk.
Our Letters to Santa program runs until after our Very Vintage Christmas event on December 13—so be sure to get those letters in before Santa’s sleigh takes off!
