An event to make your holiday season even brighter. The Friends of the Langlois Library and the Langlois Club have collaborated for over 30 years to bring you a stellar event. The vendors are in place selling hand-made wares from afghans to jewelry to quilts and, to perhaps, a zebra potholder. The Friends will be selling their wide assortment of delicious cookies while the Lions will be serving beverages and an amazing selection of desserts.

A new addition to the event: The Lion’s Den will open in the “red room” featuring an unbelievable assortment of good second-hand items and a “freebie” table as well. Of note, all the monies o the non profit sponsors will be spent for library needs and the Lion’s charitable causes and renovation expenses. With this in mind, both organizations would really love and really need your donations to keep our coffers going. The Friends are requesting a cookies and the Lions: any other desserts, quick breads etc. Thanks so much in advance and hope to see you all there. This event will not disappoint.
