The Madison Friends of the Library is helping Santa this year by installing a "Letters To Santa" mailbox in the Kid's Area of the Madison City Library. Kids can bring their pre-written letter for mailing or write their own letter at the library on Christmas themed paper available at the desk in the Kids Area. The mailbox will be up until Christmas Eve. Our plan is to do this each December so we are hoping this can become a library tradition for all the kids in our community. Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!
