Tis the Season

As the days grow shorted and the weather becomes colder, thoughts turn to the approaching holiday season. Thanksgiving is barely over but plans for the BIG holiday, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa, are already well on the way to making this holiday the best ever. People are getting into the spirit!

As December begins, the Martinsburg-Berkeley County Public Libraries (MBCPL) is contemplating the holiday season. By the end of November, the area garden clubs transformed the library into a holiday delight to rival the likes of many a store. Our Christmas panels, painted by staff member and artist Wayne Hilliard will again adorn the Queen Street windows throughout the month of December.

Stop by the Children's Department on Saturday, December 14 at 10:30 am for a special holiday Book-to-Movie program featuring the film The Muppets Christmas Carol.

The Martinsburg Public Library will also host a Holiday Reception on Thursday, December 12. Stop by the library and select a cookie cutter from our Christmas tree!

MBCPL promotes the gift of reading. For the month of December, the adult library will feature a Bag Sale. Fill a bag (which the library provides) for just $1.00! The Children's Department will also sponsor a book sale this month. This is the perfect time to select those favorite titles and share the gift of reading with others.

This year all Martinsburg-Berkeley County Public Libraries will be closed on the following dates...
