Hardesty Regional Library, 8316 E. 93rd St., begins the holiday season with the program “Season’s Readings: A Literary Holiday Celebration,” at 2 p.m. Saturday.

The event features readings of favorite holiday passages.

Saturday's readings include:

• “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens, read by John Everitt, emeritus director and co-founder of Light Opera of Oklahoma. “A Christmas Carol” was published in December 1843 and has endured as a Yuletide favorite.

• “Elijah’s Angel: A Story for Chanukah and Christmas” by Michael J. Rosen, read by Rebecca Ungerman, musician, actor and director. Rosen won multiple awards with this story about the friendship between a 9-year-old and an 80-year-old barber.

• “Recitation,” performed by Caroline McGilvray, fourth-grade student at Eliot Elementary.

• “Santa’s Naughty Elf” by Wayne Hardy, read by Hardy, a retired librarian and board member of Friends of the Tulsa City-County Libraries. Hardy will read this excerpt from his longer work, “Hannibal Days,” chronicling his first year in the Hannibal Public School system.

• “A Good Old-Fashioned Christmas,” by Robert Benchley, read by Rich Fisher, general manager of KWGS Public Radio and host of “Studio Tulsa.” Benchley seeks to capture the warm family essence in this humorous essay.

Hardesty is a beautiful library. Whoever designed it did a magnificent job, IMO. It's a little further for me to go to Hardesty but I think it is well worth the drive.
Yes, it is beautiful. Hardesty is the branch I use, also, and I was excited when they moved out of that building near the mall.
