Teens and adults turn older books into standing holiday trees by folding the pages. The finished tree can be decorated, set out on a shelf or wrapped up as a gift. The library supplies every material, so there is nothing to bring.
The session meets Thursday, December 10, 2026 from 2:00 to 4:00 pm in Meeting Room AB at the North Fort Myers Public Library. Registration is required, and the page shows the program as full, with new sign-ups going onto a short waitlist. The listing carries a price of zero.
Parent tip: This one is for teens and adults rather than young children, and it is already full, so put your teen on the waitlist now. The library holds registered seats only until the program starts, so arrive by 2:00 pm if a spot opens.

The library sets up a low-key visit with Santa, listed on the page as Santa Don, in its meeting room. Children can say hello and have a picture taken with him, and a few simple activities are set out for the wait.
It takes place Friday, December 11, 2026 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm in Meeting Room AB at the North Fort Myers Public Library, 2001 N Tamiami Trail. No registration is required. The library lists it for babies through teens and gives no price.

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 North Fort Myers
North Fort Myers sits on the northwest bank of the Caloosahatchee River, looking across the water at Fort Myers proper. U.S. Route 41, the North Tamiami Trail, runs through the middle of the community, and it is on that road that the public library hosts its Christmas programs for families.
How North Fort Myers celebrates
The Christmas events gathered for North Fort Myers families this season are small library programs rather than a large town festival. The Lee County Library System holds both at the North Fort Myers Public Library, 2001 N Tamiami Trail, in Meeting Room AB. On Thursday, December 10, 2026 teens and adults fold old books into holiday trees at the DIY Craft Club. On Friday, December 11, children from babies to teens can meet Santa and take a picture with him at a relaxed Santa Meet n' Greet. The library sits on the North Tamiami Trail, the route through the center of the community.
