We hear a lot these days about stress during the holidays, and it's true there can be enormous pressures and expectations during this time. But there are also wonderful moments to warm our hearts, such as walking past this tree decorated with ornaments made by the children attending our story times. Just seeing the creative energy and love the children have put into this craft activity gives me a surge of endorphins every time I walk by the tree. On your next trip to Baldwin Boettcher, we invite you to take a long moment to look at these creations by our community's little ones and see if you don't find yourself smiling.

Did the snow last week put you in a jolly mood and start you thinking of the North Pole? We won't promise a winter wonderland, but if you stop by the Baldwin Boettcher Branch this Saturday, December 12, between 1:00 and 3:00 PM, we're sure you'll get a hearty taste of holiday cheer at our annual open house. On hand will be festive live music by Kevin Groover and Ivan Collins, and lots of delicious treats and goodies. We'll have a seasonal craft suitable for all ages, so bring your creative spirit. We look forward to seeing you!
