We Make Holiday Shopping Fun at the Holiday Store for Kids!

 Kids will love to see how their shopping dollars stretch at the Holiday Store, where they can buy gifts for friends and every member of the family – even the four-legged ones – at kid-friendly prices. Most items are priced from 25 cents to $10, and we’ll provide a checklist so they can keep track (and maybe practice a little math!) while they shop.

The Between Friends Gift Shop staffers select fun and useful items all year, and arrange holiday shops in the libraries. Children of all ages up to 18 are welcome to shop the wide variety of items including jewelry, plush toys, ornaments, pet gifts, home décor and useful tools for the shop and home. There’s something for Mom and Dad, grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles, teachers and friends.

 Here are the Holiday Store Hours:

Saturday, Dec. 3

The Library Center auditorium, 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.

  Library Station Frisco and Santa Fe rooms, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
