## About

Santa makes a one-hour appearance at the Santa Teresa Branch Library on December 16, 2026, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m., for pictures with children. The library warns that Santa has to return to his workshop after the hour and will try to fit in as many photographs as possible, so families should arrive early and expect a line. It is a drop-in event rather than a booked photo session, held inside the branch on International Circle in south San Jose.
