The Festival of Trees
Last year the Gray Public Library hosted its first annual Festival of Trees. The idea was to decorate a tree from a favorite childen's book. The trees were put on display in the library for the holiday season. The Festival of Trees was well received and the library will be hosting the event again this year.

Please think about doing a tree... as a family project or as a group activity. Last year some of the trees were Goodnight Moon, Billy & Emma, Linneas' Garden, The Boy Scout Handbook, The Book of Faeries and The Mitten.
You may sign up at the library. We hope to have many individuals, families and groups participate and have all the trees decorated by Nov. 30th. Please stop in at the Gray Public Library or call (657-4110) during library hours for books, ideas and more information. We have lots of books to choose from!
