Children ages 4 to 12 shop for presents for family and friends at the library's Santa Shoppe. Library elves help each child choose, then wrap and label the gifts so they are ready to go under the tree.
This listing is a shopping time on Thursday, November 19, 2026, from 6:30 to 7:00 pm in the Sharpe & Murdock Rooms. Each gift costs $5 and a child may buy up to five. Registration is required, capacity has been reached, and new registrants are placed on a waitlist.

Snow White visits the library for a story time and toy giveaway presented by Courage & Kindness Co. She sings, reads a story and leaves plenty of time to meet everyone, then gives away wooden toys that the Dwarfs are said to have been making in time for Christmas.
The visit is on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, from 10:00 to 11:00 am in the School Age Room, for ages 0 to 5. Registration is required and opens on November 16 at 9:00 am, with each child registered individually. A caregiver must stay, and the page lists no price.
Parent tip: Registration opens at 9:00 am on November 16 and every child needs a separate sign-up, so register siblings one by one as soon as it opens. The toys are wooden and meant for toddlers to young children, so this fits best for the under-5 crowd it is aimed at.

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.
A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.

The story of Christmas in Brownsburg
Brownsburg was once called Harrisburgh, until it turned out that a post office in another Indiana county was already using that name. Today the Hendricks County town of nearly 29,000 people starts its Christmas season at the Brownsburg Public Library, with a children's gift shop and a toy giveaway.
How Brownsburg celebrates
The Christmas listings we could confirm for Brownsburg are both at the Brownsburg Public Library on South Jefferson Street, which the Wikipedia article names as the town's library. At the Santa Shoppe, on Thursday, November 19, 2026, children ages 4 to 12 buy $5 gifts for family and friends while library elves help them shop, wrap and label. On Tuesday, December 1, Courage & Kindness Co. brings Snow White to the library for a story, songs and a giveaway of wooden toys for children up to age 5. Both need registration, and neither page calls its event annual.
Fun facts about Christmas in Brownsburg
Brownsburg was first settled in 1824 by James B. Brown. Its original name, Harrisburgh, came from William Harris, who settled north of what is now Main Street and sold sections of woods to incoming pioneers. The town was incorporated in 1848, dissolved, and incorporated a second time, permanently, in 1870. In 1985, part of the movie Hoosiers was filmed in the former College Avenue Gym. The 2020 census recorded 28,973 residents.

Questions about Christmas in Brownsburg
When was Brownsburg, Indiana founded?
Brownsburg was first settled in 1824 by James B. Brown. The town was incorporated in 1848 but soon dissolved because of struggles relating to the American Civil War. It incorporated a second time in 1870, and that incorporation was permanent.
How did Brownsburg get its name?
The first settler was James B. Brown, in 1824. The town was originally named Harrisburgh in 1835, after William Harris, and a post office opened under that name in 1836. The name was later changed to Brownsburg because another Indiana post office was already using Harrisburgh.
Who lived in the Brownsburg area before settlers arrived?
Delaware Indians lived in what is now called Lincoln Township, along White Lick Creek. According to the Wikipedia article, the creek was then called Wa-pe-ke-way, or White Salt. White Lick Creek still flows north to south through town, just west of the town center.
How did early settlers reach Brownsburg?
A road connecting to Indianapolis was built in 1820, and more settlers arrived once a stagecoach line was established along it. The first log schoolhouse was built four years after James B. Brown settled there in 1824.
