STEELEVILLE AREA PUBLIC LIBRARY

Saturday, December 16

10:00a.m. - 1:00p.m.

​

**Pre-registration is REQUIRED. Seating is limited and our Christmas movie events are usually FULL.**

​

Travel through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, past the sea of swirly-twirly gum drops, and then walk through the library doors to an elf-stravaganza!! Be sure to wear your most Christmas-y outfit!

​

We'll open at 10, have an elf-themed story time at 10:15, write letters to Santa (I KNOW HIM I KNOW HIM!), and watch Elf!

Elf is rated PG. Runtime is 97 minutes.

​

Children under 8 must be accompanied by a caregiver.

We are starting up a teen book club, run by teens for teens. Any teen in 6th through 12th grades is welcome to attend.

Join us for the first meeting, Wednesday, November 15 at 3:00p.m. Most meetings will probably run about 1 hour. At this meeting, you will get to know each other and your reading preferences, vote on the first book, and schedule the next meeting. 

​

We will be deciding at the meeting how often and when to schedule book club meetings, so hopefully we can work around all of your busy schedules!
