Where's Santa?

Find out @ your library!

Every year, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) tracks Santa Claus as he makes his way around the world delivering gifts on Christmas Eve. This year, they are working with Google Maps for even more information about his location.

For more fun Christmas ideas, you can go to:

NorthPole.com - A kid-friendly site with lots of activities in Santa's Secret Village, such as sending Santa a letter.

Santa.com - For all things related to Santa, including dropping him a note to let him know what you want.
