The Macon County Public Library is hosting an old-time carol-along at 5 p.m. on Dec. 20.

The song list will feature “Jingle Bells,” “Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer,” “Silent Night,” “White Christmas” and many familiar holiday carols and hymns.

Attendees are encouraged to donate a new or gently used book, which will be distributed to needy Macon County children.

Prior to the carol-along, children under age 12 can gather in the library at 4 p.m. for a “Club Discovery” holiday workshop, where they will create seasonal take-home crafts including cookie-cutter ornaments and one-of-a-kind greeting cards.

There is no charge for either event.
