Holiday Gift Nook – An economical and sustainable approach to holiday shopping!
The library is hosting a free shopping experience for the holidays. Developed from community donations, the Holiday Gift Nook is open to all and free for all.
Come join us. Always free, always open!
How it works:
• Pick up a coupon before entering the shop and exchange it for one item. You may return for additional tickets, while supplies and inventory last.
• We might need to limit the number of people in the Gift Nook at any one time. Please anticipate the possibility of waiting in line.
• Visit the gift-wrapping station to personalize and wrap your gift(s). Check out other Library gift-making and wrapping programs.
• This event is great for children and people on tight budgets.
