All I want for Christmas is one beautiful library
Dear Santa: I’ve been really good this year. Well, most of the time. The tree is full. The lights are bright. The stockings are all hung. Soon your sleigh will fly high, with Rudolf, his nose so bright. As you look down upon our small, rural town of Plainfield, I’m sure you can see Philip Read Memorial Library in your sight.
I want something really special this Christmas. My eyes are closed tight and I’m wishing with all my might. My Christmas wish is that the little town of Plainfield would be happy with Philip Read Memorial Library: one of the most beautiful million-dollar libraries. I would be so grateful if all the residents would appreciate what they already have and finally see one town, not two.
