Santa Visits Century Library Reading of “Polar Express”
December 13, 2007
Santa paid a surprise visit to the Century Branch Library Thursday afternoon to the delight of dozens of children on hand to hear a reading of The Polar Express.
In The Polar Express the main character, a young boy, is taken away on the Polar Express train to the North Pole on Christmas Eve. He receives a bell from a harness on one of Santa’s reindeer. The bell does not ring until he truly believes in Santa.
After reading the book, the children were shown a bell that did not ring. When they agreed that they truly believed in Santa, the bell rang. Then Santa appeared at the door.
Each child received a bell, a refreshment gift bag and a wrapped present. The presents turned out to be brand new books. The refreshment bags included hot cocoa mix…Thursday was National Cocoa Day.
The Century Branch Library will present the move The Polar Express at 1:00 Saturday afternoon at the library. The free event will include popcorn and drinks. For more information, contact the library at 256-6217 .
