Mark your calendars because Santa is coming to the Destin Library on Wednesday, December 15th from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.

“There will be a Christmas tree and under it will be bundles of ribbon-wrapped picture books for children to check out with their library card,” said Catherine Card, Public Information Manager for the city. “There will also be crafts to make and a take-home treat bag. And, of course, a special visit with Santa Claus.”

The city asks residents to register for this event to ensure there are enough treats for everyone. To register, click here.
