 The holiday spirit was alive and well at the San Bernardino County Library in Grand Terrace as families gathered for a delightful day filled with joy, creativity, and the magic of Santa Claus. Children and parents alike were treated to a special event that included storytime, crafts, photo opportunities, and even a chance to send letters to the North Pole! 

 As families arrived, the Community area was transformed into a festive wonderland, complete with twinkling lights and cheerful decorations. The excitement filled the air as children eagerly awaited their chance to meet Santa. The event kicked off with a warm welcome from the library staff, who encouraged everyone to partake in the day’s activities.

One of the highlights of the event was the enchanting storytime session led by Santa himself. Children gathered around as he read classic holiday tales, captivating their imaginations and filling the room with laughter and cheer. The joy on the children's faces was a testament to the magic of storytelling during the holiday season.

After storytime, the fun continued with a variety of craft stations where kids could unleash their creativity. From making festive ornaments to designing holiday cards, the little ones enjoyed hands-on activities that allowed them to express their holiday spirit. Parents joined in the fun, helping their children create beautiful keepsakes to take home. 

No visit with Santa would be complete without capturing the moment! Families lined up for photos with Santa, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime. The smiles and laughter shared during these photo sessions added to the joyful atmosphere of the day. 

In a special addition to the event, a North Pole letter station was set up for children to write their holiday wishes to Santa. With colorful stationery and festive decorations, kids eagerly penned their letters, sealing them in envelopes to be sent off to the North Pole. This interactive experience allowed children to engage with the magic of the season in a personal way.

 

 

The Santa event at the San Bernardino County Library in Grand Terrace was a resounding success, bringing together families for a day of holiday cheer and community spirit. With storytime, crafts, photos, and the North Pole letter station, children enjoyed a magical experience that celebrated the true essence of the season.
