It’s the Most Wonderful Time of The Year At The Maywood Public Library!

The weekend of December 21, 2013 was a wonderful time.  Thanks to the generous donations from the public, parents, and guardians, on Saturday the 21st the Library was able to host our 4^th Annual Gingerbread House Building Party!  All those attending met the children’s author Blaze Kelly Coyle.  She read from her first published book “The Most Traveled Squirrel in the Whole Wide World!”  We also watched the Christmas classics; “A Charlie Brown’s Christmas,” “The Snowman” and “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer.”  For the main event, everyone built their very own beautiful graham-cracker gingerbread houses!  We also enjoyed the delicious fare donated by the Maywood Market Place.  We concluded the event with a viewing of “The Santa Clause.”  On Sunday, December 22, 2013, Public Relations Director Jenna Columbia, produced and conducted “Holiday Carols at the Library.” show celebrating this year’s holiday season in song.  Volunteers Grace Weddington, Young-Ji Weddington, Sam Weddington, Julian Campillo, and Marcia Geise rehearsed for the concert for three weeks prior to the performance.  The lyric sheets handed out to the audience encouraged their participation and all had a grand time!  The event culminated with sweets and hot cocoa.
