Have you noticed the beautiful trees in the library windows? Throughout the month of December, you can visit the library and vote on your favorite Christmas tree for $1 a ticket or six tickets for $5. The trees are decorated by local churches and organizations. Voting will end on December 30th, and the organization or church with the most votes wins the money, with half going to benefit the library.
