Our Saturday Storytime in December will be a special Christmas Storytime, where we’ll share some favorite Christmas stories together. Join us on Dec. 11th at 11:00 a.m. for this festive Storytime. We’ll be showing the movie Peter Rabbit 2 on Thursday, December 30th at 3:30 p.m. Snacks will be served, and all are welcome. 

More fun Christmas events include Christmas Card Making for ages 10 and up on Thursday, Dec. 9th from 3:00-5:00 p.m. Materials will be provided for you to make 3-4 Christmas cards! Join us on Dec. 11th for our first ever Gift Wrap Saturday! Get all of your Christmas wrapping done -- on us! We'll provide the gift wrap, gift bags, etc. Show up anytime between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. and enjoy Christmas music and light refreshments while you wrap your gifts. First come first serve while supplies last.

Grab-n-Go Crafts are still available each week for all ages! Follow the library’s Facebook or Instagram pages @Fremont Area District Library to see the crafts.

The Daytime Book Group will meet on December 9th at 12:30 p.m. to discuss Seven Days of Us by Francesca Hornak. The Wednesday Readers Book Group will meet on Monday, December 13th at 7:00 p.m. to discuss A Quilt for Christmas by Sandra Dallas. Anyone is welcome to join these book groups. Books for these groups are available at the library’s front desk ahead of the meeting if you’d like to check out a copy and join the group.

The library will be closed Dec. 24-26, and we’d also like to remind you that we still have Curbside Pickup available. If you’re not feeling well, you can always call us to gather your items and we’ll have them checked out and ready for you on the table in our entryway. You can use this service also if you’re just in a hurry and would prefer to have your items ready for you instead of coming in. We’re happy to help!

For more information about any of these events, please contact the library at 231-924-3480 or visit www.fremontlibrary.net.
