Dashing into December at GKL

Troy Communicator

December Issue

By Erin L George, Director

It’s hard to believe that the end of the year is already here! As the library reaches its happy ending for 2025, we look back with gratefulness for November’s events, including a new chess club, a popular Teddy Bear Tea event, the beginning of our Little Free Food Library, a condiment drive for Helping Hands, Flight Path educational programming, generous donations, and lots of laughs.

As always, our events are free and open to the public. This month, we are looking forward to the following dates:

WINTER ADULT AUTHOR VISIT: Join us at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec 6, for a reading, signing, and presentation by author Michael J Caduto. Caduto, author of Enchanted Night Before Christmas, hails from Vermont and will give a talk on a sweet holiday story he wrote about a family who understands the true meaning behind the holidays. This event is free and open to the public and will help put you in the mood for the holidays!

UGLY SWEATER PARTY: Saturday, Dec. 13 from 11 to 1. You bring the sweater, we’ll bring the bling! This event is great for any age and is sure to be a good time for all. A prize will go to the UGLIEST sweater, so don’t feel you have to be crafty to participate.

HOLIDAY TEA WITH MISS MARY LEE: Thursday, Dec. 18 at 4 pm. Holiday themed, wear your best holiday gear and bring a stuffie along to celebrate the season! This event is suitable for any age but geared at younger children. A snack and craft will be provided!

Moving into 2026, we are working to bring back our book club, start a newsletter, and collaborate with some special local resources like the Harris Center. Follow us on Facebook or check out our website to stay apprised of the latest happenings at Gay-Kimball Library! As always, we are so thankful for our patrons, who help to make the library not only a resource but a community hub for so many in town. Don’t hesitate to reach out to any of our staff if you have ideas on ways we can better serve Troy and its residents! We hope you have a fantastic holiday season.
