Somewhere around 230 people attended the “Cocoa and Carols” holiday evening occasion at the Algona General public Library on Dec. 9. The celebration featured a warm cocoa bar, dwell audio, prize drawings, excursions of the library, story-time, crafts as effectively as a pay a visit to with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Buddies of the Algona Community Library board and library board customers assisted with the party. Far more than 689 men and women visited the newly renovated library final 7 days. Algona Library Director Lori Walton explained it has been a fun and enjoyable week at the library for staff.

“It was great to see absolutely everyone once again. The Thursday gatherings were being a excellent opportunity to celebrate how significantly this task has come and exhibit our thanks to the neighborhood for its assistance. Even although the library will continue on to evolve, and some potential ideas are even now in the will work, we liked the opportunity to welcome so quite a few persons into the making yet again. We foresee it will continue to be chaotic via December. Far more furnishings and shelf stop panels will arrive this 7 days, so we invite everyone to return to see the development,” explained Walton.

“The Good friends of the Library Board have been a wonderful support all through the week. They packaged popcorn and cookies, procured and embellished the Christmas tree by the fire, and they assisted with our routines on Thursday night time. On Saturday they ran the silent auction of the remaining furnishings at our momentary site.”
