The Mooretown branch is inviting families to a Merry Grinchmas, a festive and mischievous Whoville holiday celebration. The library promises an afternoon packed with holiday fun for the whole family, with the goal of helping everyone's hearts grow three sizes.

The event runs from 4 to 5 pm on Monday, December 7, in the Mooretown Meeting Room. The page does not spell out the exact activities, age range, fee or registration, so it is worth calling the branch for specifics if your child has favorite Grinch characters or wants to dress up. After school timing makes it easy for school age children to attend. The branch is at 4360 Hollywood Avenue in Shreveport. It makes a good companion to the library's Christmas Classics Week, which runs at the same branch the following week.

Parent tip: The page does not list specific activities, so call the branch if you want details.

Little Adventures is a short, kid sized program series at the Hollywood and Union Avenue branch, and the December edition is built around a visit from Santa. The library invites all the good little girls and boys to come meet him.

The Broadmoor branch of Shreve Memorial Library is hosting Santa for an afternoon visit in its Youth Services Area. The library describes it as a chance to take a break from the busy holiday season, let Santa know what you would like for Christmas, and have your picture taken with him.

The event runs one hour on Saturday afternoon, December 12, which makes it an easy add to a day of errands or weekend plans. The library page does not list an age range, a fee or a registration requirement, so families can plan on a simple drop in visit. Bring your own camera or phone if you want a copy of the photo.

This Saturday story time at the Broadmoor branch is all about the magic of Christmas. Library staff read stories celebrating the season, and afterward children make their own reindeer hat to wear home.

The library asks that children under ten be accompanied by an adult, so plan to stay and join in. The page does not list a fee or a sign up requirement. The branch is at 1212 Captain Shreve Drive in Shreveport. Story times like this one work well for preschoolers and early elementary kids, and the craft gives a take home keepsake.

Belcher-Wyche Library invites families to make Christmas candy trains with a vintage look. Participants assemble the little trains from Lifesaver candies, chocolate and peppermint, creating a decoration or treat that is as fun to build as it is to display.

The craft hour runs from 4:30 to 5:30 pm on Tuesday, December 22, and the library lists the cost as free. No age range or registration is given on the page. It is a hands on activity that suits school age children, and younger kids will probably want a grown up helping with the candy. The branch is at 409 Charles Street in Belcher, a small community in northern Caddo Parish. This is a craft you build from candy, not a train ride, so it is a good fit for families who like sweet, simple holiday projects.

Parent tip: Supplies are candy, so check for allergies. Young children may want adult help.

Families in northern Caddo Parish can head to the Gilliam branch library for a Christmas story time. Patrons listen to a classic Christmas story and then sing carols together, with light refreshments and presents as part of the afternoon.

The program runs from 1 to 2 pm on Tuesday, December 8, at the branch on Main Street in Gilliam. The library page does not list an age range, fee or registration requirement, so it reads as a relaxed community gathering for children and their families. This is a smaller branch, so expect an intimate setting rather than a big crowd. Gilliam is a small community north of Shreveport, so this suits families already in the area.

Are there Christmas train rides for kids in Shreveport?

Yes, but they have their own guide. Santa trains and holiday train rides are listed in our Shreveport Christmas train rides guide, so this page sticks to story times, Santa visits and other events off the rails.

How do you confirm these events?

We list an event only after we find this season’s date on the host’s own website or an official city or tourism calendar. We last checked every listing on November 2, 2026. Hosts change details, so always confirm on the host’s page before you go.

Event names belong to their hosts. Rally Takes the Train is a family picture book and is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any host listed here. Confirm dates, times and prices on each host’s own site before you go.
