9th Annual Language Tree on Display
The 9th annual language tree is now on display at the Bristol Public Library. Students in the Spanish language classes at Bristol High School have decorated a language-themed Christmas tree that will be on display in the library through December 15th.
All of the Spanish club students were involved in making the decorations for the tree. The tree, in the library’s entryway, is decorated with the students’ handmade ornaments.
Ferdinand the Bull Giveaway
Children can enter for a chance to win a “Story of Ferdinand” book and toy set. Ferdinand: The Movie, being released in theaters December 15th, was inspired by this best-selling children’s book.
Beginning Friday, December 1st, children ages birth through age 5 will receive one prize drawing ticket each day they visit the library. A random drawing will be held on Friday, December 15th.
Elf on the Shelf
The Bristol Public Library’s own Elf on the Shelf, Andrew, will be somewhere in the library waiting to hear all the children’s Christmas wishes during the month of December. Santa sent his scout elf, Andrew, named for the library’s benefactor, Andrew Carnegie, to library as an extra set of eyes and ears to report which children have been naughty or nice.
Visit the library each week, December 4th through December 21st to see what Andrew is up to. If you find him you might receive an early Christmas present when you tell the librarians where he is. Finding our Elf on the Shelf is open to children ages 3 through twelfth grade. Just remember not to touch him or he’ll lose his magic and won’t be able to report to Santa!
The Bristol Public Library is located at 1855 Greenville Road. For more information contact the circulation desk at 330-889-3651.
