Help Fill the Mitten Tree at Limestone Township Library District

 

Every year during the Christmas season, the library is filled with decorated Christmas trees. From our rustic tree in the front lobby to the giant tree in the meeting room, everywhere you look has a decorated tree.

 

But there is one tree we do not decorate. It sits in the main lobby waiting for decorations. That’s because this is our Mitten Tree.

 

Every year we fill this tree with mittens and hats and scarves that are donated to the Herscher School District so no one has to go without warm winter wear. We are lucky to have patrons, members of the community, and staff who donate these items every year so we can give them away.

 

Currently we have a ‘Din Grogu’ hat along with some gloves on the tree but they need company. Help decorate our tree with Mittens, Hats, Gloves, and scarves to help keep kids warm this winter. You can bring in items during library hours and leave them at the tree or give them to staff at the front desk.
