Thank you to everyone who came out for the Tiny Trees Auction on Dec. 1 and to those of you who came to the library during the week to preview the trees. This year we had trees, gift baskets and art. The library was very festive and this year the trees were more beautiful than ever. Thank you to all who purchased items; the library received approximately $10,000 which will be used for library programs and resources. Thanks to our volunteers, tree decorators and to the committee for all the work that went into making this a successful event!
The library was very festive in December: We had a visit from Santa Claus and those who didn’t get to see him in person, had the opportunity to send him a letter through our magical Santa mailbox. A big thank you to Warren and Julie Smith for making this possible! Santa received lots of letters from La Conner this year; we are sure you are all on the nice list!

Start your Winter Reads adventure in outer space with the “Project Hail Mary” by Andy Wier. Ryland Grace is the only survivor on a spaceship whose mission is to save the planet Earth – only he doesn’t know that, in fact he doesn’t even know his name. Andy Wier takes readers on a funny, fast paced mission to save the planet. I couldn’t put this book down!
Happy Holidays from all of us at the library. We can’t wait to see you all in the New Year.
