Our church library has a number of books for all ages about the birth of Jesus and the Christmas season. Below are some of them. There are also books about Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and winter (snowflakes, and animal tracks in the snow, oh my!).
Checkout is for three weeks. Then please return the item to the return bin just inside the door within that time frame.
Enjoy!
