Caryville Public Library

4839 Old Highway 63, Caryville, Tennessee 37714

We will ride together on our very own Pere Marquette 1225 train from the Caryville Public Library to the North Pole! Along the ride, we will sing Christmas carols and read "The Polar Express" by Chris Van Allsburg. When we arrive at the North Pole, there will be hot cocoa "as thick and rich as melted chocolate bars," Christmas candies and treats, and fun activities for all ages. If we're lucky, we might even see Santa himself! Every child will get to take home their very own bell from Santa's sleigh.
