The Hays Public Library staff have set up a special mailbox that has only one destination. Letters placed inside will be transported directly to the North Pole for Santa Claus to read and respond to.  Letters to Santa is an easy way for children to send their Christmas wish list north and get a quick response.

The library has been helping send letters to Santa for 18 years.  Children can put their letter in an envelope, include a return address for Santa to write back to, and place the letter in the mailbox located next to the elevator in the children’s department.

Last year over 280 letters were sent to Santa.
