The Magic of Christmas in Essex Day was a big day for the library! Over 200 people came through our doors, including Santa & Mrs. Claus and the Champlain Valley Sweet Adelines.
Thank you to all who supported our silent auction with your generous donations and bids! And thank you, Steven Kellogg, for the joy you brought to the room with your spirited reading of the two Margaret Mahy books. What a fun day it was!
