Avenue of Trees

Friends of the Library’s AVENUE OF TREES first appeared in 2004.

The trees are supplied by area businesses, community groups, and individuals.

The rules for submissions:

  • Artificial trees only
  • Nothing electrical; no loose glitter — decorations should be durable enough to survive 5 weeks
  • Choice of decorations decided by supplier — may reflect
    • Group or personal tastes / interests
    • Favorite book, fable or literary character(s)
    • Festive, creative or fun holiday theme
  • Submissions due by mid-November to allow time for organization and assignment of space.
