CHECK IT OUT: Noel Night coming Dec. 19; donate food to pay off fines

Celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa during the 10th annual Noel Night, 6-7:30 p.m. Dec. 19 at the Crestview Public Library.

Soloist J.R. Lewis, Crestview High School's Chanticleer, led by Kevin Lusk, and a worship music team from Emmanuel Baptist Church, led by Justin Wyatt, will perform Christmas music.

We’ll play dreidel and make crafts while supplies last. In addition, you can scavenge the library and win a prize. We may even have a surprise visit from — well, you’ll just have to see for yourself!

Finally, purchase a $1 raffle ticket to win a beautiful painting donated by a local artist. All proceeds benefit our book fund.

This event is free for you, thanks to our Friends of the Library (who will bake yummy cookies)!

Do you have library fines? Take care of them and stock Sharing and Caring, our local food bank, at the same time.

We'll accept food for fines Nov. 21 through Dec. 21. We will pardon $1 worth of fines — up to $20 worth per account — for each nonperishable, non-expired food item.

If you’d like to give back to your community, please bring a nonperishable item, and we’ll make sure it gets to Sharing and Caring. Call 682-4432 with any questions.

Heather Nitzel is the Crestview Public Library's youth services librarian.
