Children's Update: Brazoria

December was exciting. We read many Christmas stories during storytime. We made snowman ornaments, greeting cards and angel T-shirts. We had a fun Christmas party on Christmas Eve with punch and cookies. And we made fireworks pictures with glitter for New Year’s Eve.

Christmas in Brazoria was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and the Brazoria Historical Foundation. We participated by staffing the Kids Craft booth. The children painted plaster ornaments.

We made duct tape bags and wallets. At the suggestion of some patrons, we are planning this for adults in January.

Bedtime Stories is getting quite popular. We read several versions of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore. We also enjoyed hot cocoa and cookies.

A special Christmas Craft Day was held. Children made different kinds of ornaments and had a great time.

Storytimes will continue with stories about snow and various forms of transportation. Bedtime Stories will be held January 15.

We are fully staffed and open on Fridays! Our new clerk, Melissa, has been a patron for years. We are thrilled to have her join us. Welcome aboard, Melissa!
