Aww, the Yuletide! The Christmas season is upon us and decorations are going up. Whether you celebrate or hibernate, Knox County Public Library is here to meet your needs. Of course, we have programs galore, but we also have collections for every mood, passes to area attractions and storybook trails for some fresh air.
You can always count on the Jolly Ol’ Elf to stop off at some libraries! Thanks to support from Friends of the Library, you will find him traveling from Halls to Farragut, Corryton to Sequoyah. He’ll be waiting for your wish list. Make sure to bring your camera and good cheer. While you’re there, pick up a pack of books for the season.
