The train is pulling back into the station! Enter the world of make believe as we share The Polar Express Experience with you. 

For The Polar Express Experience, bundle up in your warmest pajamas! Arrive at our train station to be greeted by conductors, holiday games, and a photo booth. Board the Polar Express for a merry caroling session and a reading of Chris Van Allsburg’s classic story. Then disembark at the North Pole for a winter wonderland—complete with creamy hot cocoa and a visit from Santa Claus! And who knows? Perhaps you’ll be the one to receive the first gift of Christmas!

This is a free event that takes place in our Community Room at the library. We welcome you to use your imagination and join us for this magical event!
