Bring the family and take your Christmas card photo under the library's beautiful, historic Dome. The Friends of the Library Christmas trees make a nice backdrop; pose on the front steps with the lions; or line up on the marble staircase in the library's old entryway. Staff will be on hand to assist with directions, but families must bring a camera and take their own photos.
Thanks to the Friends of the Library for once again funding the holiday decorations at the library. Be sure to stop down and see the beautiful Christmas trees in the historic dome area and the festively wreathed library lions at the old front entrance this holiday season!

Meet Sharon Olk and a few of the other Library People and find out what they value about the Oshkosh Public Library.
