The Bowdon library's homeschool program takes a holiday turn in December, with children building Christmas trees they can eat. The session is planned for kids aged 6 to 11.

It meets on Thursday, December 17, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Warren P. Sewell Memorial Library, 450 West Avenue. Registration is required. The page does not list a cost or say how to sign up, and the library's phone number is 770-258-8991.

Parent tip: The trees are made to be eaten, so call the library ahead to ask what ingredients will be used if your child has a food allergy. Register before the day, since sign-up is required for this one-hour, late-morning session.

Holiday story time

Preschool Storytime: Christmas

Expand to see the parent tip

The Bowdon library's preschool storytime has a Christmas theme two days before the holiday. Little ones hear a story, sing, dance and finish with a snack.

It is on Wednesday, December 23, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:00 AM at the Warren P. Sewell Memorial Library, 450 West Avenue. The page does not mention registration or a cost. The library's phone number is 770-258-8991.

Parent tip: At 30 minutes with singing and dancing built in, this suits wiggly preschoolers who cannot sit through a long reading. A snack is served, so let the staff know about any food allergies when you arrive.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

The story of Christmas in Bowdon

Bowdon lies four miles from the Alabama state line and carries the name of an Alabama congressman, Franklin Welsh Bowdon. In December the Warren P. Sewell Memorial Library on West Avenue hosts the town's listed holiday programs for kids, from edible Christmas trees to a Christmas storytime.

How Bowdon celebrates

The Christmas programs listed for Bowdon are both at the Warren P. Sewell Memorial Library, the Bowdon branch of the West Georgia Regional Library System at 450 West Avenue. On Thursday, December 17, 2026, the branch's homeschool program invites children aged 6 to 11 to make edible Christmas trees, with registration required. On Wednesday, December 23, the preschool storytime takes Christmas as its theme, with a story, singing, dancing and a snack. Both programs keep the season small and close to home, in a city of just over two thousand people.
