Hello,

For the second year in a row, Capital Area District Libraries (CADL) will be airing a Christmas Eve Storytime on Lansing’s Christmas Station, 99.1 WFMK and 99wfmk.com. The storytime will air at 7 p.m. and repeat at the top of every hour until midnight. This year, Tom Shilts, youth librarian for CADL’s Okemos branch will read Clement Moore's 'Twas the night before Christmas.

During the WFMK broadcast, there will be a special appearance by Mason Reeves, who plays Kristoff, the simple but kind-hearted ice harvester in Disney’s hit musical Frozen. Reeves will provide details on how listeners can enter to win a four pack of tickets to see the musical on stage at Wharton Center. Scott Duimstra, CADL’s executive director will also be providing a special holiday message.

We are also excited to air our first Christmas Eve Storytime in Spanish on WKAR’s NewsTalk 870 AM/102.3 FM during the station’s Latinx programming. Clement Moore's 'Twas the night before will be told by Marisela Garza, CADL’s youth services specialist. This version will also be posted on station’s website to enjoy anytime.
