The Jolly St. Nick paid Ysleta Branch Library a visit on December 14, 2013, bringing cheer and good spirits. The kids all enjoyed Santa’s visit as they asserted their good behavior and their Christmas wish list with the joyous, portly, bearded man. There was Christmas caroling and a storytime with City Representative Eddie Holguin as guest story teller. Even the Grinch stopped by for a surprise visit and joined in on the cheerful merriment.  Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Christmas!
