He visits the Feldheym Central Library with Mrs. Claus on Monday, December 7, then drops in at two neighborhood branches, while the Inghram Branch runs holiday craft hours. We check every date on the host’s own website and link straight there. For the rest of the state, see our California Christmas events for kids guide.

San Bernardino’s main library welcomes Santa and Mrs. Claus for a two-hour evening visit, the longest of the library system’s holiday Santa stops this season.
It is a relaxed, indoor alternative to crowded mall lines, and a good excuse to pick up a stack of holiday picture books on the way out.
Parent tip: Come after school and dinner. The visit runs until 7 pm, and a library card lets kids borrow seasonal books before they leave.

Santa makes the rounds of San Bernardino’s neighborhood branches too, stopping at the Villaseñor Branch Library on December 14 and, with Mrs. Claus, at the Rowe Branch Library, 108 East Marshall Boulevard, on December 21.
Each visit lasts an hour, so these small-branch meetups are short, quiet and easy to fit in after school or on the first days of winter break.
Parent tip: Arrive right at 5 pm. With only an hour on the schedule, the line is shortest at the start.

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.
