Back by popular demand, here's a holiday favorite composed by our very own staff member, Laura, originally posted last year at this time...
'Twas the day before Christmas and all through the stacks,
People were looking for trade paperbacks.
And books on CD to help pass the time
during holiday travel or waiting in line
To buy that last gift, it had been a long haul
And they needed a way to escape from it all.
So off to the library they wandered in quest
Of a good book to read that stood out from the rest
Or maybe a holiday music CD
To play while they finished trimming the tree
Or even a kids' Christmas book to be read
To help restless children get settled in bed.
Then up to the checkout, arms full, they did dash
Where friendly staff helped them check out in a flash,
They packed their selections and went on their way
With a wave and a smile and a "Happy Holiday!"
As they left the building, I heard them all say:
"We're so glad you're open on Christmas Eve Day!"
The library is open until 6 p.m. today. We're closed Dec. 25, but reopen at 10 a.m. on Dec. 26.
Happy Holidays from the staff at Missoula Public Library!
