Celebrate the holidays at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County this season!  First up, The Know Theatre of Cincinnati presents The Inventive Princess of Floralee at 2 p.m., Dec. 3.  This original, two-person, interactive fairy tale will encourage kids to “think like scientists” as they follow the adventures of Princess of Floralee.

Also on display is the Cincinnati Northern Model Railroad Club Holiday Model Train. From Dec. 9 – 11, visitors can operate a 17-by-10 foot “O” gauge train.  The train will operate 12 – 6 p.m. Dec. 9 and 10, and 1 – 5 p.m. Dec. 11.  Be sure to stop by around 3 p.m. on Dec. 10 for live jazz with the Chris Comer Trio.

Plus, the Library Friends’ Shop will offer extended hours through Dec. 23.  Downtown employees and residents can receive 25% off most purchases during the Work, Shop, Save After Hours Sale on Dec. 6 from 5 – 8:30 p.m.  This event features discounts, refreshments, free gift wrapping and a drawing.

The Library’s many branches will host holiday events all month long, so be sure to get a complete schedule at cinlib.org/libevent.
