Santa is coming to FDLPL to celebrate a Winter Wonderland

The big guy in the red suit, Santa Claus, is returning to the Fond du Lac Public Library on Wednesday, Dec. 7 as the youth services department turns the entire library into a Winter Wonderland. The Winter Wonderland Celebration will be just one of many events scheduled for youth and teens during December.

Drop into the library Dec. 7 anytime between 4 and 7 p.m. to enjoy crafts and games that will be sprinkled throughout the library. Every family that attends will receive a free book to keep, as well as a chance to get a photo with Santa himself. No registration required for this free event.

Other youth activities planned includes:

  • Monday, Dec. 19 at 4:30 p.m. in the McLane room: Packers Family Tailgate – join STEAM Night for sports science fun with games such as cornhole, Jenga and more.
