175 book-themed, decorated trees light up Douglas County Libraries<\/em><\/p>\n Douglas County Libraries is adding magic to the holidays with Forest of Stories, a sparkling display of more than 175 book-themed, decorated trees across all seven library locations in Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Louviers, Parker and Roxborough. The seasonal exhibit, presented by Douglas County Libraries Foundation, is free and open during library operating hours through January 4, 2025, no ticket or registration required.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my favorite event of the year and it\u2019s accessible to all throughout the holidays, rather than just happening on one day or evening,\u201d said Elaine McCain, Chair of Douglas County Libraries Foundation, the presenting sponsor of the exhibit.<\/p>\n \u201cMore trees than ever are on display this year. Whatever your favorite theme is, you are sure to find it in our forest,\u201d said McCain.<\/p>\n This year, the library is excited to also partner with Mix 100 for special in-library events with live readings from radio personalities among Forest of Stories, as well as prizes and giveaways. Jeremy from Mix 100 will be at the Highlands Ranch library (9292 S. Ridgeline Blvd.) with giveaways and a reading from \u201cClifford\u2019s Christmas\u201d at the next event on Saturday, December 7, from 11 a.m.-Noon.<\/p>\n Families looking for kid-friendly entertainment and tree-peeping opportunities during the holidays and winter break can find something different to enjoy at every location.<\/p>\n Forest of Stories is part of DCL\u2019s popular Booked for the Holidays event offerings, providing festive holiday entertainment options for families and the entire community throughout the season.<\/p>\n For more information on Forest of Stories and the trees at each library location, visit DCL.org\/forest-of-stories<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information on Douglas County Libraries Foundation, visit DCL.org\/foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n Douglas County Libraries elevates our community by inspiring a love of reading, discovery and connection.<\/p>\n
