BREMEN, INDIANA EDITION

December is ‘Count the Candy Canes’ contest time at the Wakarusa Public Library!  Search the library to find the hidden candy canes.  Look high and low and not so slow in order to find them all!  Receive your entry slip at the front desk, then enter your name and answer in the drawing to win a prize. The contest will run from December 1-20, and the winner will be drawn on December 22! 

Story Hour children will hear bear stories, including Polar Bear Night by Lauren Thompson, on December 8 and December 9 at 10:15 a.m.  The sessions are for children ages 3 – 5 years old who are registered for the program.

            The annual Toys for Tots toy drive will be running until December 11.  A donation box is located in the front foyer of the library, and donations will be distributed through the Family Christian Development Center in Nappanee.
