Blaisdell Memorial Library will be operating under holiday hours for the week of Thanksgiving. Please note the following changes and closures:
The Blaisdell Memorial Library is the inaugural host location for Santa’s Mailbox!
This year, Santa’s Mailbox will be conveniently located in the front room of the library.
Santa’s Mailbox is a community member-founded and supported holiday event. Starting on Tuesday, November 26th, children who would like to make their wishes known to Santa are invited to bring a letter to drop in the box. Parents—if your child is interested in a response, you must include a return address.
Santa’s Mailbox is a volunteer effort developed and supported by patrons of the library, and is not a Blaisdell Memorial Library program. Town employees are not involved in the collection of, or development of responses to, letters submitted to Santa.
