Briggs Lawrence County Public Library invites everyone to donate to the library’s annual Mitten Tree campaign which begins Monday and runs through Friday, Dec. 17.

Donations of new mittens, gloves, scarves or hats for people of all ages will be used to decorate the Mitten Trees which will be on display at each library branch. Then the donations will be given to local charities in your area.

For each item donated, $1.00 in outstanding library fines (up to a maximum of $5.00) will be waived. Donations of nonperishable food items in excellent condition will also be accepted. Some restrictions apply for waiving fines. For complete details, call or visit your local Briggs Library location.

Even if you don’t owe fines, your donations will be gratefully accepted.

If you love to sing along with the Christmas carols playing on the radio or a CD, join us for an hour of singing these Christmas favorites when we host “Christmas Karaoke for Seniors” this Friday at 10:30 a.m. at the Chesapeake library and at 2 p.m. at the Ironton Library.

The December Classic Movie of the Month at the South Point Library is “Grumpy Old Men” starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon. Bring a friend and a snack and join us at 2 p.m. Thursday for this hilarious and heartwarming story of neighborhood curmudgeons whose long-running feud becomes an all-out rivalry when an attractive widow (Ann-Margret) moves into the house across the street in snowy Minnesota.
