December is going to be an exciting month at the Riverton Free Library.  The Candlelight House Tour on December 1stis a great way to start off the holiday season.  Five private homes and five local businesses will open their doors to the public to view their lovely decorations.  On Saturday, December 8th, kids 12 and under can stop by the library any time to pick out and create a holiday craft.  The following Saturday, December 15th, Abrakadoodle will be at the library at 3:00pm to help kids ages 6-12 make an artistic masterpiece of their own.  For adults looking to explore their artistic side, we offer an adult craft night on Thursday, December 20that 6:30pm.

We know the holidays can be overwhelming.  Stop by the library to pick up a book and relax or check out our fabulous DVD selection for a cozy night at home.   We look forward to seeing you at the library.
