Make the Library Your Next Stop this Christmas Season

Maybe you’re aware that Christmas is right around the corner, but if not, this website will tell you exactly how far off it is!  Certainly, there is much to do and little time in which to do it, but don’t worry, the Frank Sarris Public Library is here to help with that.

We still have Enjoy books available – at just $30, one would make a great gift to yourself or someone else – and Second Hand Prose offers a wide selection of books hoping to find new homes, many of them are suitable for gift-giving. The best part? You can fill a bag with books for just $5! Looking through the selection there, you can find an assortment of holiday-themed books for sale and hundreds of others, too.

Naturally, your friendly neighborhood library has books for borrowing as well. You can find books to help you get into the holiday mood, books with recipes for cookies or for crowds, and books to assist you with your holiday décor.

Have you decided to make some gifts this year? We can help with that, too!  A keyword search of the catalog will enable you to find Stylish Gifts to Make in a Day, Edible Gifts, and much more. If you’re still struggling to find the right gift for the person who has everything, consider this…

You can honor someone special while helping to build the library’s collection.  The library accepts monetary donations for the purchase of materials, and book plates are placed in the new materials to acknowledge both the honoree and the donor.  Notification is sent to the honoree, and donation forms can be printed out in advance (please see our website) or picked up at the library.
