With many malls and shopping centers shuttering their doors, Santa knows he might not be able to see as many kiddos in person this year, so the Cozby Library and Community Commons has volunteered to be a Letter Drop-off location for Mr. Claus! Santa has set up a holiday mailbox where Coppell children can mail their gift wishes to the North Pole, at the Cozby Library. Santa will also be making an appearance virtually at the Library for a Christmas Q&A where he will respond to children’s holiday questions.
