The Eden Valley Area Library joined the community tree trimming celebration with decorating a street tree outside our library. Our theme was Wish Tree in honor of the junior fiction novel “Wishtree” by author Katherine Applegate.
A message from author Katherine Applegate on her FB page: “Thanks so much for sharing your wishtree with me!”
Here are some of the wishes shared on the Wish Tree:
I wish to find a job.
I wish to have more valuable time with my children and my two granddaughters, even if it’s a phone call or video call.
Get COVID under control.
Future growth for our area library.
I wish for family peace and love that extends to the community, state, country, world.
For my family to have a safe and peaceful holiday and new year.
Better health.
Food enough for everyone.
My family stays healthy.
I wish the Lord comes soon.
My daddy to get better.
I wish the library ladies stay healthy.
To have a better financial setup.
That everyone has a home.
COVID would end.
Good health.
I wish for peace on Earth, and COVID would end.
I wish that I was rich Mairy X-mas.
Please Jesus cure XXXXXX of his lymphoma.
I wish to go back to school.
