Bossard Library is pleased to provide library patrons with a Holiday Family Fun Kit, while supplies last.

Enjoy some family time this holiday season with a cookie decorating kit, gingerbread decorating kit, and other assorted family-fun holiday kits.

Beginning at 10:00 AM on Wednesday, December 11, 2024, adults may stop by the library and pick up a Holiday Family Fun Kit at the Circulation Desk.

Distribution of kits is random -- please do not ask for a specific kit.

In order to allow more families to obtain a Family Fun Kit, there is a limit of one (1) kit per household, please.
