Puppets, nutcrackers come to library

FOR THE RECORD**********The Nov. 26 article “Puppets, Nutcrackers come to library” stated incorrect dates. The Christmas Tree Trimming Party was Dec. 5, the Family Evening Pajama Storytime is tonight, and the Nutcracker Ballet will perform Dec. 15 and 16.**********

The Huntington Beach Public Library is celebrating the holidays with three special events.

The library is holding a tree-trimming party for children of all ages. Kids can decorate a Christmas tree ornament to take home or hang on the library’s tree. There will also be a puppet performance by Daniel Porcu called “Christmas Ventriloquist Show.” Tickets are $3. The show is at 10:30 a.m. Dec. 6 at the Huntington Beach Central Library.

The Family Evening Pajama Storytime is also getting into the holiday spirit Dec. 11. There will be stories, songs, puppets and refreshments. Kids can wear their pajamas and bring their teddy bears. Story time will begin at 7 p.m. in the Tabby Storytime Theater.

The library is also showing “The Nutcracker Ballet” at 4 and 7 p.m. Dec. 16 and 17. Tickets are $3 for children and $5 for adults.
