Library hosting Whoville Dec. 3

The library is getting into the gift-giving spirit.

Jay County Public Library will host “Whoville’s Joy of Giving Kids Shopping Night” from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 3.

The event is for children ages 4 through third grade who will get to “buy” a gift for two family members. They must complete four tasks — check out a Christmas book, make a Christmas card for local retirement home residents, write a letter to Santa and take a selfie with the Grinch at the library — to earn a ticket to get into Whoville. They will then get to choose from a variety of gifts, and the library’s Whoville helpers will help them with wrapping.

Parents will not be allowed while children are shopping. Reservations are required by calling (260) 726-7890.
