Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Road, Lititz, has posted several holiday activities and charitable projects.
The library will participate in the Lititz Warwick Community Chest Christmas Basket Project this year. The goal of this project is to provide the meal ingredients, or the means to purchase food, for a special holiday meal for a family unit. Those who wish to help may take a leaf from the Thanksgiving Donation Tree in the library. They should purchase the requested item written on the leaf and return the item to the library.
The library's annual Holiday Happening will look a little different this year. This year the library will offer a recording of Santa reading "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" by Clement C. Moore at http://www.lititzlibrary.org and on the "Lititz Public Library" page on Facebook. In addition, grab-and-go craft bags will be available to both adults and children, while supplies last.
A library table will be decked with children's library materials that may be purchased to commemorate a teacher, a grandparent, or another special person. These books will be placed in the library's collection, with a commemorative bookplate in each book purchased. Cash or checks will be accepted as payment.
In the spirit of holiday giving, the library will collect new masks, mittens, gloves, hats, scarves, earmuffs and umbrellas for local children. Members of the community may bring in these items to decorate the annual Mitten Tree.
The library invites the community to participate in the Downtown Lititz Holiday StoryWalk, which will be available through Sunday, Jan. 3. The walk begins at The Purple Turtle, 7 Kleine Lane, and heads south to Main Street, travels up and down Main, and ends at Borough Hall.
This self-directed activity invites people of all ages to read a children's picture book in stages while walking along a path. Participants are encouraged to complete a simple activity at each page. StoryWalks aim to promote literacy, physical activity, parental involvement, and ties to the community.
In the Lititz walk, participants will read "I Got the Christmas Spirit" by Connie Schofield-Morrison. The story explores the sights and sounds of the holiday season as a mother and daughter shop in the city.
Participants may enter to win a copy of the book by scanning the QR code at the conclusion of the walk or by taking a picture of their child with one of the StoryWalk pages and posting it on the Lititz Public Library Facebook page or tagging the Lititz Public Library on social media.
For more information, readers may call the library at 717-626-2255 or visit the aforementioned website.
