The library's Wednesday morning story time gets a visit from Santa. Children hear holiday stories in the Children's Program Room and then have photos taken with him. The session is aimed at babies, toddlers and preschoolers up to age 5.
The Santa session is Wednesday, December 9, 2026, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM, held in person at the Lady Lake Public Library. The calendar entry does not mention registration or a fee.
Parent tip: This one is planned for children 5 and under, so it suits a first Santa photo better than the all-ages evening on December 7. A mid-morning start can run into nap time, so feed little ones before you come.

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.
