This week we hear from Librarian Louise Birch, who will be sharing a very special Christmas Carol from the Local and Family History Department.
“Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Library not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse”
“The stockings were hung by the counter with care, in hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there”
“The children’s books nestled all snug in the stacks, while visions of sugar-plums danced through their naps”
“Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!”
“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night”
