Holiday closings
The Lincoln Public Library District
will be closed the following dates for the holiday season:
Teddy Bear Picnic
The library's annual winter "indoor picnic" will be Jan. 17, from
10 to 11 a.m., in the downstairs Pegram Room of the Carnegie
Building. This popular event features stories and a picnic snack fit
for a bear -- a honey sandwich, teddy grahams and juice -- that can
be shared with your favorite stuffed animal! The highlight will be a
visit from a bear character that all the children will love to meet.
Parents, be sure to bring your camera, as this is a sweet,
old-fashioned party. This "picnic" is for children up to 8 years
old. Call 732-5732 to register. Registration closes Jan. 15.
