Even though story-times and other indoor programs are suspended for the time being, library branches across the county are still creating some fun for families. Join us to celebrate the holidays with games, scavenger hunts and a couple of competitions to boot. It’s also a great time to check out some particularly festive trees.
- Gingerbread House Competitions at Farragut and Cedar Bluff
- Holiday “I Spy” at Farragut
- Reindeer Scavenger Hunt at Howard Pinkston
- Holiday Forest Display at Halls featuring trees submitted by patrons
- Winter Book Bingo at Powell
- Downtown’s Elf on the Shelf Scavenger Hunt with a stop at Lawson McGhee Library
With just a few days left before the big day, some of our favorite shoppers may have procrastinated, but that doesn’t mean you have to be uninformed. You can access Consumer Reports to get the best reviews out there with our Flipster app. There are dozens of magazines to peruse, including the latest Rolling Stone featuring Adele.
And if the holidays are just plain overwhelming, we’ve created some binge boxes with a variety of DVDs to your hearts content. Check them out at Lawson McGhee Library.
