At last December’s Family Story Party at Oneida Library , Santa and Mrs. Claus climaxed the main event with the inevitable photo shoot. They will return for this year’s holiday party on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 11 a.m.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Young children, their parents and other family members are invited for a special Holiday Family Story Hour Party at Oneida Public Library on Saturday, December 10<\/span>, at 11:00 a.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the OPL\u2019s Youth Services Coordinator Megan Gillander acting as host, the event will serve up holiday songs, activities, games, stories and small gifts for the small people.<\/p>\n

Special guest Pattina Keniston, an American Sign Language instructor, will join the festivities by teaching the other guests some basic sign language and interpreting the stories in sign for the hearing impaired. Other special guests will read children\u2019s seasonal picture books.<\/p>\n

Once again, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on hand to regale the gathering with Clement Moore\u2019s classic \u201c\u2019Twas the Night before Christmas\u201d and distribute gifts from their bag of surprises.<\/p>\n

Refreshments are being provided by the Friends of Oneida Public Library.<\/p>\n

Guests may also wish to help decorate the OPL\u2019s Giving Tree. This year, the Giving Tree is dedicated to supporting the library\u2019s participation in the Dolly Parton Imagination Library for preschoolers. For a dollar, a donor can purchase an ornament decorated with the cover of one of the picture books in the Imagination Library. For $30 in donations, the OPL can provide a free age-appropriate book once a month for a full year through the Dolly Parton Foundation.<\/p>\n

The Holiday Family Story Hour Party, being held in the OPL\u2019s Meeting Room on the main floor, is free and open to all young children and their parents or guardians.
