High Point Library Hosts Family Holiday Market and Activities

The High Point Public Library posted notice on Nov. 20, 2025 that it will present a full day series of family focused activities on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025. The announcement lists Holiday Time at the Market with vendors outside the library, seasonal children programming, crafts, and family activities. Outdoor market activities are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The notice also states that library services or closures will be adjusted to accommodate the event, and it invites families to attend while providing accessibility information and contact details for further questions.

Organizers are positioning the event as a community gathering that can support small vendors and provide a centralized place for families to access arts and seasonal programming. For local residents, the market offers an opportunity to engage with neighborhood businesses and cultural activities within walking distance for many in central High Point. The library posted the announcement on the city Civic Alerts page, signaling municipal coordination and visibility for the event.

Public health considerations are especially salient as the event will take place during the late fall period when respiratory illnesses can be more common. Holding vendor activities outdoors from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. may reduce transmission risk compared with indoor markets, but the library notice’s inclusion of accessibility information also matters for equitable participation. Outdoor settings are generally more accessible to families with strollers and to people with mobility needs when organizers plan accessible routes and accommodations.

The library’s decision to adjust services or close some operations for the event will have practical effects. Regular patrons who rely on library computer access, study spaces, or scheduled programs should check the posted notice or contact the library for specifics before visiting. Those who use library services for job searches, internet access, or early literacy programs may need to plan around the event to avoid disruptions.

Beyond immediate logistics, community events like this highlight broader issues of access and equity in Guilford County. Public institutions that host inclusive family programming can reduce barriers to cultural and educational participation, but they must also ensure that scheduling does not inadvertently exclude those who depend on routine services. The library’s provision of accessibility information is a step toward inclusion, and residents are encouraged to review the posted notice or reach out to the library for details about accommodations and any service changes.
