Season's Greetings!

If it's been a while since your last visit, now is the perfect time to stop by the Library. For the month of December, the Main Library has been transformed into a Winter Wonderland. The Junior League and Jacksonville Public Library have partnered to bring us the Festival of Trees, a display of spectacularly decorated trees, each inspired by a different book. The Festival of Trees features 26 trees that encircle the grand staircase on three floors of the Library.

The holiday cheer continues as you enter the Special Collections area on the 4th floor. For the second year in a row, Genealogy Collection volunteer Patricia McCullough has lent her International Santa Collection and her decorating talent to design our annual holiday display. The theme of this year's display is "The International Spirit of Giving." Below are two of the featured Santas. You can view more pictures of the display on our flickr page:
