Mrs. Claus leads a session of stories, songs and play at the Collinsville Community Library. Babies and toddlers are welcome to wiggle and move around, and caregivers are encouraged to join in and sing along.
It is on Monday, December 21, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:30 am at 2632 Delta Road. The description gives ages 0 to 2 and says no registration is required, while the listing's age tags also include preschool and school age children. No price is listed, and an adult must stay with each child.
Parent tip: The session is built for babies and toddlers who cannot sit still, so there is no need to worry if yours crawls off mid-story. Because the age tags are wider than the 0 to 2 in the description, call the library at (717) 927-9014 before bringing an older sibling along.

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.
