We can’t wait!!

The wait is finally over! This year’s Christmas Parade theme is…

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!

Not sure which direction to go? No worries! This theme leaves plenty of room for your best creative ideas.

All I want for Christmas is…
🦷 My two front teeth
🚗 A new car
🏠 To be home for Christmas
💰 A little more money
👗 A new wardrobe

These are just a few ideas, but now we want to hear yours! What other fun ideas could you bring to this year’s theme? Let us know in the comments!

More parade details, including sign-ups, times, and other information, will be released as we get closer to parade day.

Look who we found! While we were using our extensive microfilm collection here at the library, we found this fun throwback.

Mrs. Cheryl Clarke often uses Facebook to share memories of band members from her and Mr. Gene Clarke's band teacher days, so we wanted to share one of Mr. & Mrs. Clarke, in return.

Grove Hill Public Library's microfilm collection can assist you in genealogy, data research, or simply going on a trip down memory lane. Our library staff are happy to show you how to use this free local resource.

GHPL is open M-F 9am - 5:30pm and the 1st Saturday of each month from 10am - 4pm.

Happy reading, and we hope everyone has an amazing school year!😊📖
