Tuesday, December 5th: Victorian Christmas Dance!

We are going all out for a very exciting Christmas celebration this year!

This special event will take place on Tuesday, December 5th at 7:00 pm at the Parish Center. The performers will be in Victorian dress and you’re encouraged to dress up too! Tickets for this free event will be available at the Morristown Public Library, as space is limited.


SENSATIONAL SATURDAY Family Fun, 12/2, 12p-2p

Sensational Saturdays: a pilot program intended to serve families who are unavailable during the week for Story Time, Crafts, and Entertainment. The library is testing the feasibility of hosting a once-per-month family program on Saturday. If turnout is substantial enough to continue this offering, then this will become a mainstay of library services.

December’s theme is the holiday season. Cozy up on the floor to listen to a great story, share how we celebrate the holidays, and then make greeting cards with our humungous new collection of equipment and materials! Everything is provided (including a yummy snack)!
