Join us at any of our locations for a special holiday storytime! On Saturday, December 13th, from 11:00am to Noon, we’ll be reading the holiday classic, The Polar Express, handing out silver bells, creating a holiday craft, and sipping on hot cocoa. We hope to see you there!
For our Ann Arbor storytime, we are so excited to partner with one of our local business neighbors, Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea, to provide each child with a cup of hot cocoa.
Your RSVP helps us prepare to host you. Please only RSVP with the number of children who will be attending this event. This will help us estimate how many holiday treats and crafts we’ll need! You can RSVP here:

About the Book:
This beautiful hardcover edition of The Polar Express is the perfect gift for all those—of any age—who believe, come Christmas Eve, that they too will hear the sweet sound of a reindeer’s silver bell. This edition includes a keepsake ornament.
A young boy, lying awake one Christmas Eve, is welcomed aboard a magical train to the North Pole . . .
Through dark forests, over tall mountains, and across a barren desert of ice, the Polar Express makes its way to the huge city standing alone at the top of the world, where the boy will make his Christmas wish.
For millions of readers around the world, this mysterious journey to the North Pole has become a beloved Christmas classic. In this thirtieth-anniversary edition, the inimitable artistry of Chris Van Allsburg is showcased with a bold new jacket design and expanded interior layout.
The Polar Express is a Caldecott Medal winner, and reading the story together is a beloved holiday tradition held by generations of families. It has also become a favorite holiday movie and been translated into stage productions that take place across the United States during the holiday season.
