Christmas at the Lebanon Community Library


Gifts of the Season at the Library

Who doesn’t enjoy giving or receiving gifts? We, at the Lebanon Community Library, believe there are endless resources for gift ideas displayed at the library.
Simply browse our lobby and you will find almost new and gently read past best sellers for sale for $2.00. There are also well loved and well used books and videos priced from $0.10 to a $1.00. But, don’t stop there. Come inside; look for our holiday display of books, music and videos.
Relax in a seat in our browsing section between the video and periodical sections of the library to decide which items would suite your holiday needs, then check them out. You can find dozens of ideas how to create gifts for those closest to you.
Not looking for gift ideas? Perhaps you are interested in the royals of Windsor. Check out the display featuring the royals next to our browsing area.
Or, visit the children’s room and check out the display of books on pets and pet care. The library is joining forces with the Humane Society by collecting food for the many cats and dogs in their care. If you would like to support this effort, look for the marked container to drop your new unopened pet food donations.
Finally, don’t forget to give yourself the gift of time to sit down with a great book, music CD, or video from the Lebanon community Library.
