Library Programmer Calina Sokalski said, “We are hosting this event to get families to come out in the holiday spirit and to give them a chance to do some crafts in case they can’t come to one of our after school programs. It gives them a chance to hang out with the library’s staff and be at the library to see what we do. As well, it is really beneficial for parents to spend time with their children.”

Parents helped their children make a variety of holiday crafts including: colouring festive pictures, tri bead candy cane making, terra cotta Christmas tree painting, and candy cane reindeer.
