According to Vergos, the tree lighting is important in the community, and many folks have inquired and stated that it is now part of their family’s holiday traditions. Library staff and volunteers started planning in the fall and again received enthusiastic support from the library’s friends, volunteers, members, and area residents. Many community partners came on board to bring the festivities to fruition.
