It’s December, and the holiday season is in full gear here at the Library.\u00a0 Our lobby is decked with boughs of garland; our study spaces are filled with students dreaming of a white Christmas; and the smell of Java City peppermint mocha fills the air.<\/p>\n

How does Santa arrive at the Library? Through the fireplace, of course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Of course, it wouldn’t be Christmas at the Library without the one and only Santa Claus<\/a>.\u00a0 We’re thrilled to announce that St. Nick will be dropping by again this year, and he has graciously offered to pose for portraits with our students, faculty, staff, and community members.\u00a0 Santa will be in the Heritage Room on two different days this year: Thursday, December 3<\/strong>, from 11:30am – 4:00pm<\/strong>, and Friday, December 4<\/strong>, from 2:30pm – 6:00pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

You can get a framed photograph of you with Santa for a $7 donation!\u00a0 All funds raised will go to help bring the magic of Christmas to a young boy in our community.<\/p>\n

On your way up to the Heritage Room, don’t forget to stop by our Christmas Tag Sale<\/strong> in the lobby.\u00a0\u00a0 You’ll find decorations, CDs, and unique gifts all available for affordable prices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As an added bonus this holiday season, the Weinberg Memorial Library is also excited to welcome local author\u00a0Peter V. Tafuri<\/strong>, who will sign copies of his new children’s book, The Christmas Dog<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 The book tells the heartwarming story of a stray dog who helps Mary and Joseph on the first Christmas.\u00a0 Mr. Tafuri will be in the Heritage Room with Santa on Thursday<\/strong> from 11:30am – 4:00pm<\/strong> and Friday<\/strong> from 2:30pm – 4:30pm<\/strong>.\u00a0 Bella, the Christmas Dog herself, won’t be joining us at the Library, but you can meet her (and have another chance to get your book signed by Mr. Tafuri) later that night at First Friday<\/a>.\u00a0 Bella will be at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church (232 Wyoming Avenue in Scranton) from 6pm-9pm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Side note for animal lovers: In real life, Bella is a rescue dog who likes to help kids learn to read.\u00a0 You might also see her around the community, showing off her dancing skills to raise money for the Humane Society.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
