Cumming Library Hosts Storytime with Mrs. Claus, Santa Visits

The Forsyth County Public Library hosted a Storytime with Mrs. Claus at the Cumming Library on December 4, 2025 from 6 30 to 7 30 p m in the Cumming Meeting Room. The program invited families of all ages to join Mrs. Claus as she shared favorite holiday stories and songs, and included the arrival of Santa for photos. The listing for the event appeared on the library public event calendar and provided contact information for residents seeking details or accommodations.

Library officials designed the program for broad accessibility, listing age guidance as all ages welcome and directing the public to contact ask@ForsythPL.org or call 770 781 9840 for questions. Hosting the storytime in the early evening positioned the library to serve working parents and caregivers looking for low cost, convenient family activities during the busy holiday period.

Beyond seasonal cheer, events like this have practical local significance. Community programming at public libraries provides free cultural and educational offerings that help parents balance work and family responsibilities without additional expense. For Forsyth County households, that can reduce the need for paid childcare during short evening windows and increase informal family literacy time. The library setting also creates modest increases in foot traffic near Cumming civic centers on program nights, which can translate into incremental evening spending at nearby restaurants and shops.

This event fits into a broader pattern of public libraries acting as social infrastructure by providing meeting space, cultural programming, and services that support early childhood learning and community cohesion. For residents who missed the December 4 program, the library calendar remains the primary way to find future events and to contact staff directly at ask@ForsythPL.org or 770 781 9840 for upcoming schedules and room capacity information.
