Mrs. Claus Story Time

Expand to see the parent tip

Mrs. Claus visits the Corunna Branch to read Christmas stories aloud to children. She also helps each child pass along a Christmas wish to Santa, and there is cookie decorating on the side.

It takes place Thursday, December 10, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at 210 E Corunna Ave. Seating is limited, so registration is required and closes at 6:00 PM that day. The program is for children from birth to age 12, and anyone under 8 needs an adult with them.

Parent tip: Have your child decide on a wish for Santa before you arrive, since Mrs. Claus collects them during the hour. Plan to stay in the room if your child is under 8, and expect frosting on fingers from the cookie table.

Christmas Picture Frame Workshop

Expand to see the parent tip

Presenter Deb Shaw leads a one-hour craft session at the Corunna Branch where each person works on a Christmas picture frame decoration to take home. She shares ideas to get you started, and the library lists the program for teens and adults rather than younger children.

The workshop runs Tuesday, December 8, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at 210 E Corunna Ave. Registration is required because seating is limited, and it closes at 6:00 PM on the day of the program. You can sign up online or by calling the branch at (989) 743-4800.

Parent tip: This one is set up for ages 13 and up, so it works best as an evening out with a teen while younger siblings wait for the Mrs. Claus Story Time two nights later. Register early, since seats are capped.

When each Corunna Christmas event for kids happens

The first is Christmas Picture Frame Workshop in Corunna on December 8; the last runs to December 10. Each bar spans an event’s dates, not every hour in them, so check the host’s page for times.

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 Corunna

Corunna takes its name from A Coruña, a city in Galicia in northwestern Spain, and it has been the seat of Shiawassee County since 1840. At Christmas the small city gathers at its library branch on East Corunna Avenue, where Mrs. Claus reads to children and neighbors craft decorations together.

How Corunna celebrates

Christmas programs for families in Corunna center on the Community District Library, which runs both listed events at its Corunna Branch at 210 E Corunna Ave. On December 8, 2026, presenter Deb Shaw leads a Christmas Picture Frame Workshop for teens and adults. Two evenings later, on December 10, Mrs. Claus comes to read Christmas stories, help children send their wishes to Santa and oversee cookie decorating. Both programs last an hour, begin at 6:00 PM and ask families to register ahead because seating is limited. The city sits just east of Owosso, so the branch draws on a close pair of neighboring communities.

Fun facts about Christmas in Corunna

Corunna was platted in 1837, became the county seat of Shiawassee County in 1840, was incorporated as a village in 1858 and became a city in 1869. Its name comes from A Coruña in Galicia, Spain. Andrew Parsons, the tenth governor of Michigan, lived in Corunna for many years, and a historical marker honoring him went up in 1969. The 2020 census counted 3,046 residents.

A fact for kids

Corunna is named after a city across the ocean in Spain called A Coruña. A governor of Michigan, Andrew Parsons, once lived here too.

Questions about Christmas in Corunna

When was Corunna, Michigan founded?

Corunna was platted in 1837. It became the county seat of Shiawassee County in 1840, was incorporated as a village in 1858 and was made a city in 1869, according to its Wikipedia article. That gives the city a history stretching back to the earliest years of Michigan statehood.

How did Corunna get its name?

The city is named for A Coruña, a city in Galicia in the northwestern corner of Spain. The Wikipedia article on Corunna gives that as the source of the name, which makes this small Michigan county seat a namesake of a Spanish port city far across the Atlantic.

What county is Corunna in?

Corunna is in Shiawassee County, Michigan, and serves as its county seat, a role it has held since 1840. The city is surrounded by Caledonia Charter Township and lies slightly east of the city of Owosso, so families from both communities are close to its library branch.

How many people live in Corunna?

The 2020 census counted 3,046 people in Corunna, down from 3,497 in 2010. About one in five residents was under 18. The city covers 3.26 square miles, nearly all of it land, so it is a compact place where the library branch is close to most homes.

Which Michigan governor lived in Corunna?

Andrew Parsons, the tenth governor of Michigan, was a longtime resident of Corunna. He served from March 8, 1853, to January 3, 1855. A historical marker commemorating Parsons was put up in Corunna in 1969, according to the city's Wikipedia article.

What happens at Christmas in Corunna for kids?

The Community District Library's Corunna Branch hosts Mrs. Claus Story Time on Thursday, December 10, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. Mrs. Claus reads Christmas stories, helps children send wishes to Santa, and cookie decorating is offered. The program is for children from birth to age 12.

Who organizes Christmas programs in Corunna?

The two listed programs are run by the Community District Library at its Corunna Branch, 210 E Corunna Ave. Deb Shaw presents the Christmas Picture Frame Workshop on December 8, 2026, and Mrs. Claus is the named presenter for the story time on December 10.

Do I need to sign up for Christmas events at the Corunna library?

Yes. The library requires pre-registration for both the Christmas Picture Frame Workshop and Mrs. Claus Story Time because of seating limits. You can register online or by calling the branch, and sign-up for each program closes at 6:00 PM on the day it takes place.

Is there a Christmas activity for older kids in Corunna?

The Christmas Picture Frame Workshop on Tuesday, December 8, 2026, is planned for teens and adults, with registration open to ages 13 and up. It runs from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Corunna Branch library, and presenter Deb Shaw offers ideas for making a holiday frame decoration.
