Holiday Favorites

Are you looking for an old favorite Christmas movie to watch?  How about a special book your family loves to read each holiday season?  Chances are we have it at the library.  If it’s not in our building, we can usually borrow it from another library in Illinois, at no charge to you.  From “Home Alone” to “The Night before Christmas”, from “The Polar Express” to “The Christmas Train”, come check out a special holiday treat from your library.
