It’s that time of year and we’re so excited to see so many houses and businesses dressed up in festive lights and decorations. Here at the Library, we’re getting into the holiday spirit by enjoying programs curated by our lovely librarians. We’ll be sharing both programs presented by the Library and other programs from around Niles to get you excited for a different kind of holiday season. Enjoy!
