## About

Santa makes a special appearance at Vineland Branch Library for an hour on a December weekday evening. Parents can take photos of their child with Santa (bring your own camera or phone), and every child who attends can choose a free book. Santa has to leave at 5:30 p.m. and will see as many children as he can, so arrive early. Free, no registration; sponsored by the Friends of the Vineland Branch Library.
