A Calhoun County Library Grinch Christmas

            The Calhoun County Library has started to celebrate the holiday season and a special guest has been causing a ruckus: a green creature with a small, cold heart. Can you guess who that is? Let us tell you about him and his chaos!

            The first appearance made by the Grinch was during our monthly BINGO program. On Thursday, December 5, 2024, from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM, we carried on with our normal program. We were playing traditional BINGO, four corners, and even planning on playing blackout when a hairy, green body came strolling in! Mr. Grinch was trying to call out the numbers on the balls, but he was also trying to steal all the prizes for himself. Don’t worry. We made sure all the winners got their prizes that they rightfully won! Be sure to join us for the next BINGO program on Thursday, January 2, 2025, from 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM to see if you can win the grand prize!⁠ We hope that we won’t have the Grinch trying to get those presents for himself.

            A few days later, the Grinch was spotted at the St. Matthews Christmas parade on Saturday. The Calhoun County Library’s Bookmobile got lights hooked up and joined in with Christmas music playing from the speakers and the evil Grinch was there to get some attention! He first gave out some candy canes and when he ran out, the Grinch may have tried to take the parade watchers’ candy. He wasn’t successful in his mission, but it was still so much fun seeing all the smiling and laughing faces. If you missed the parade, there is another chance to see the Bookmobile and the Grinch. Join us on Saturday, December 21, 2024, at 10 AM for the Sandy Run Christmas parade!

            The Grinch has been the star of the show lately during some of the Calhoun County Library’s programs. Each appearance has him growing nicer and his love of reading even bigger. If you see the Grinch around the library, make sure to tell him that you love reading, too!
