Peter and I kicked the holiday season off with gingerbread houses and had 19 participants. That was my first joint program and I thought it went very smooth and everyone seemed to have a nice time, and I feel it's worth looking into more joint programs in the future. The rest of the month carried on as usual with regular programming and operations. I finalized the teen winter reading challenge and prepared for that to begin. Teens can partake in a bingo challenge during January and February. There are nine boxes with different prompts for them to complete and when they get a bingo, they can come get a prize. I think that will be fun to help battle the next few months of cold weather. Overall, I'm happy with the outcome of December and the ending of another great year at TRPL. Now onto 2026 and all the fun things in store for the new year.
