What happens during a Noon Year's Eve celebration?

Each local library has their own way of celebrating, such as reading holiday stories and leading themed crafts.

How long is a Noon Year's Eve celebration?

Unlike New Year's Eve celebrations which can last hours, Noon Year's Eve parties typically range from 30 minutes to an hour. This time frame is perfect for little ones who may want to take a nap after all the fun is done.

What's the target audience for Noon Year's Eve celebrations?

The library suggests families with children ages 12 and under. We think families with younger children (maybe 6 and under) may have a better time.
