Like the other stops in the city's Visit with Santa series, the program combines holiday music and stories with time to meet Santa, and each child who visits him is given a free book. No official photographer is mentioned, so bring a camera or phone for pictures. Later the same day, at 6 p.m., Santa makes the series' final stop at the President Barack Obama Main Library, so families who miss the morning visit have one more chance that evening. Questions go to the city's Parks & Recreation contact listed on its holiday page. ## Similar picks in Tampa - [Cookies & Milk with Santa at Palm Harbor Library](https://grassyknees.com/tampa/activities/cookies-and-milk-with-santa-at-palm-harbor-library--listing-c35568b096dbf9bc2d70f8e1) — Thu, Dec 17 · 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM · Palm Harbor Library · Ages 4–9 · Free · checked Oct 16.
