25 Books of ChristmasStaff at Abington Community Library stumbled upon a great idea on Facebook that we’re excited to pass along to you.

Start a new tradition in your family this year. Wrap up 25 children’s books (they don’t have to be new). Put them under the Christmas tree with a special blanket next to them. Before bed each evening, let your child choose one book to open and read together … until Christmas.

Good news, Friends of the Abington Community Library created the Book Nook at the library. Staff is always adding new titles. Stop by the library today to create your new family tradition.
