Santa Claus will make his annual visit to the Butterfield Library – his first stop in Cold Spring – from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 7. During the party, Santa will read one of his favorite stories to children. Each child will be able to tell Santa his or her wish and will receive a gently used book as a gift. Refreshments will be served. Please note that Santa will arrive promptly. He must leave at noon to return to the North Pole to oversee last-minute production.

Following the party, guided tours of the library will be given by members of the Friends of the Butterfield Library, to Cold Spring by Candlelight participants. The Friends will host a bake sale from noon to 5 pm.

In the evening, Luanne Morse and Cary Brown will host a special edition of the Silent Movie Series featuring Charlie Chaplin shorts beginning at 7 p.m.
