Join the staff for our holiday open house, 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Dec. 16. Refreshments will be served, and everyone is welcome to stop by and celebrate!

We will have music and singing and some special treats for our youngest patrons.

While visiting the open house, plan on staying for our free movie double-feature. At 11:30 a.m. we will be showing “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” The 1:30 p.m. movie will be the holiday classic “Elf.”
