Compassionate Holiday Cookie Swap

As batch after batch of your well-loved holiday cookies come out of the oven, don't forget to set aside a tray for the less fortunate. Bring two dozen homemade cookies to the Jones Creek Regional Branch today—one dozen to be donated by the Crochet Compassion Group to the St. Vincent de Paul Men's Shelter holiday party and the other to go toward a cookie swap, which will be bundled up with holiday music, coffee, and punch. 10 am–noon. (225) 756-1150 or ebrpl.com.
