A huge Thank You to everyone who made Saturday’s Santa and movie event a great success at the Library! Thank you Santa, Santa’s helpers, Friends of the Greenwood Library and all the families who braved the cold to make it to our event.

Kids watched short holiday films and played games in the playroom starting at noon, then Santa arrived and each kid got candy canes, fun pencils, books and a stuffed animal. Some of the tree ornaments were made by the kids who came to Thursday’s ornament decorating event.
