'Tis the season for giving - and what better way to share the holiday spirit than with a Secret Santa book exchange! This year, we’re bringing back Secret Santa Holds, where you recommend a book you love, and in return, you’ll receive a hand-picked recommendation from another patron. It’s a fun way to discover something new while sharing your favorite reads with others!

Fill out the form at tfpl.org/secret-santa by December 13th to share a book recommendation and let us know what you like to read. Then, we'll match you with another patron's recommendation, wrap it up for you to pick up at the Library, and let you know when it's ready.

You're cordially invited to join us for an evening celebrating Jane Austen's 250th birthday on Tuesday, December 16th, 6-8 PM. We'll have crafts, games, trivia, tea, and light refreshments, all in honor of one of the world's most endearing, and enduring, authors. Dress in Regency costume if you like!
