FRIT 7090: Program #2 December. The event will take place from 4-9. This is a one time event.

Goals and Rationale of Program: The goal of this program is to bring students and their families to the library for a funfilled event for the holidays. The students will be able to use technology to interact with Santa, watch a movie, create a craft, and listen to timeless Christmas stories. The rational is that when families spend time together and read together then the families enjoy the time spent together and by making an effort to attend an event where books are at the center, the parents are encouraging their children to read. Families that read and play together, succeed together!
