Albert City Public Library elves “Jingle” and “Belle” raided the library shelves and surprised the AC/T students at
the elementary school in Albert City on Monday, December 6th at 1:30pm. Library Director, Mary Johnson, aka “Jingle” and Board President, Ebba Youngberg, aka “Belle” enthusiastically presented many new books to enhance the children’s love of reading. Since it is the Christmas Season, they performed to Kay Thompson’s Jingle Bells from the Michael W. Smith “Christmastime” CD encouraging the audience to sing along. They brought more new books than they could possibly introduce, but presented some of their favorite holiday children’s picture books as well as chapter books for advanced readers plus graphic novels and fiction for the upper elementary. One of the library’s new Christmas books, “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas”, was shared. Jingle led the audience in singing this classic traditional Christmas song. “Mrs. Claus Takes a Vacation” is Belle’s favorite Christmas book and she enjoyed entertaining the children by reading some of the pages. Jingle got a charge out of “When the Cows Come Home for Christmas” and brought the house down with “The PS Brothers”. She reminded the children that even though school would be closed through Christmas and New Year’s holidays, the library will be open most weekdays for them to choose books, magazines, puzzles and movies to fill their time.

Jingle and Belle were excited about all the computers available to use and the comfortable seating provided for reading. Those fun-loving elves are hopeful that children of all ages will continue to come to the Public Library for education, entertainment and fun! "When you open a book you open a world of fantasy, mystery, reality, romance and laughter. At the Albert City Public Library you just never know what great things you’ll find until you come in a check it out! ", says Jingle.
The elves wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
