On Saturday, November 12, Shelly Aardema did a “Christmas Gift” workshop for local families from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. “It was a great time for the 19 who participated,” said Librarian Donna Clark. “They could make a sun catcher, decorate a mug and make an angel necklace—all very nice gifts to keep or give away.”

Ms. Heidi, youth parapro for the Cedar Springs Library, was Santa’s helper for the event.
