Turon Community Library is proud to sponsor Turon’s annual Christmas parade and party this year. Join us for festivities on December 10th beginning at 1pm.

Community members can line the streets to watch the Christmas parade, and then meet in the gym at the community building to see Santa! There will be refreshments to enjoy while you wait your turn, provided by gracious community volunteers, for whom we are exceedingly grateful.

Like previous years, every child will get to greet Santa and receive a special treat from him. However this year, families can chose to have photos taken with Santa in front of a professional backdrop for a small price. All proceeds will go back to the library, helping us serve the literacy and informational needs of our community, and ensuring we can continue to sponsor community events such as this.

We will also have a Literacy Tree! It is a Christmas tree with tags families can take. Each tag will have a book from the library’s wish list. The books requested are missing titles from series, or books that have been requested by patrons, or books that fill identified gaps in the library’s collection. You simply take the tag, acquire the book, and bring it to the library. The books do not have to be new. You may even recognize a title you have sitting at home. That is perfect! This is just a way to let our community know what we need, and ensure we aren’t getting 47 copies of the same book. Not that we wouldn’t find good homes or make good use of them, but we would prefer to keep it simple.
