Christmas is right around the corner, and things are getting pretty busy around the North Pole! Santa can’t wait to put up his feet after his big delivery and celebrate the Twelve Days of Christmas. However, the reindeer were a bit mischievous during their games and pulled a prank on Santa…they have hidden Santa’s hat in a box, and without it, Santa can’t celebrate Christmas or the days after! If he doesn’t get his hat back, he can forget about twelve days of rest, relaxation and fun. And, when Santa ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy around the North Pole! Help the elves find Santa’s hat by solving the Twelve Days of Christmas clues and unlocking the box! Santa and everyone at the North Pole are counting on you! Rumor has it that Santa is offering mystery prizes to teens who can break out! Three breakout sessions will be available: 10am, 11am, and 1pm. Participation is limited to 6 teens per session. Please call the library at 327.4327 to reserve a place.

This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Libraries, Kona (FOLK).
