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 Rock Creek
Rock Creek sits where the stream called Rock Creek meets the Grand River in Ashtabula County, a village of 667 people that was settled back in 1798. Christmas for families here runs through the Rock Creek Public Library and its Annex, with portraits, a countdown craft and a party at story time.

In Rock Creek the public library carries the season for children. The Rock Creek Public Library opens with Christmas Family Photos at its Annex on November 18, 2026, where families reserve a portrait session by phone. Five days later, on November 23, the Annex hosts the Christmas Countdown Craft, and families make a chalkboard for counting down to Santa's arrival. The library's regular Wednesday Story Time then turns into a Holly Jolly Christmas Party on December 23, with Miss Melissa reading Christmas stories, showing a Christmas movie and sharing snacks. All three programs are organized by the library itself.
