## About

Rice Branch turns its meeting room into a holiday photo set where children and teens can pose in front of a festive backdrop, then make paper snowflakes and decorate cookies. Refreshments are provided. The drop-in event runs Thursday, December 10, 2026 from 2:30 to 4 p.m. and is grouped for children from birth through age 11 plus teens, so siblings can take part together. It is one of several holiday programs Cleveland Public Library runs across its neighborhood branches in December.
