Help make a child’s holiday special!

This year the Junior Friends of the Chili Library will be putting together twelve Christmas stockings. The Junior Friends will buy items for four children. The staff will buy items for four children. We’re hoping that you would help buy items for four more children.

Please consider taking one of these paper stockings. We’ll need your item by November 21. If you can, please tape your paper stocking to the item.

All the items need to fit in the stocking, so please consider that when making your purchase.

Pictures will be taken of the finished stockings after the Junior Friends have filled them so that you can see what your efforts have done.

Thanks everyone!

We took all of the ornaments off the tree today. Some are from Mike's childhood and a few from when our kids had their first Christmas.
