Deck the Halls with... Hans Christian Andersen, fa la la la, la la la la!


This Saturday the Mad Professor will read from stories by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, including one with a Christmas theme. A game of charades based on another of the stories shall follow. Then, filled with the holiday spirit, we will decorate the Gulfport Temporary Library for Christmas! Apple cider and popcorn will be served.

Special mystery guests will also be present (and fed): (Hint: what is named something but is not really that something, but something else that swims?)
