Special to Wesson News
Wesson Public Library is ready to help the town celebrate Christmas.
Visitors to its open house following the town’s annual Christmas parade on Friday, December 6, will be the initial beneficiaries. Throughout the Christmas season, the Library is inviting town folk to drop in to see its special displays and check out a book related to the holiday.
Librarian Marilyn Britt delved into the book collection and discovered more than 50 fiction and non-fiction tomes with Christmas themes. They are easy to find atop shelves and on tables throughout the Library.
Special exhibits include a miniature Christmas village built by Chad, Rebecca and Aeplea Harrison, Jean Ricks’ collections Santas handmade by Hattiesburg artist Sherry Dole, a nativity scene provided by Kim Roberts and Julia Arnold’s Christmas dolls. Britt also strategically placed nutcrackers from her collection throughout the library.
Those who visit the Library at its open house following the Christmas parade will also meet Mrs. Santa Claus (Linda Merhri), who will read stories to children and the Grinch (Lee Meredith), and a train operated by Brookhaven Exchange Club will ride children around town. At the open house, the Library will gift children with Christmas themed bookmarks and glow bracelets.
