Actor, writer, and producer Tom Roberts will present a special storytime for preschoolers and their families at the Ronning Branch Library (3100 E. 49th Street) on Wednesday, December 2, at 10:15 a.m. Tom will share Christmas stories and read his new book, Santa’s Prayer, a story in which Santa Claus reminds two children of the true meaning of Christmas. This free program is made possible by the generous support of Tom and Lynne Zimmer. Because of limited seating, groups of 10 or more should register in advance to attend by calling 367-8710.

Illustrated by Doug Moss, Santa’s Prayer will be available for purchase and signing by the author, with sales benefitting the Children’s Home Society. Additional information about the book, its author and illustrator, and other scheduled public readings may be found at www.santasprayer.org.
