The library is open late during Ravenna's Midnight Madness holiday celebration. Stop in for free hot cocoa, storytimes with Santa Claus, a Pop-up Craft Market, live reindeer on the lawn, and more.
See live reindeer on the library’s lawn and learn about these special animals from Spring Mist Farms' handlers. Sip complimentary hot chocolate while you view the gingerbread house display inside and vote for your favorites. Snap holiday photos at one of our selfie stations or by one of our historic fireplaces, decorated for the holiday season.
Families and children can enjoy special storytimes with Santa Claus. No registration is needed but parents may get one ticket per person (children and adults) for one storytime to secure a spot. Tickets are available beginning at 9am at the library's first floor desk. Four storytimes are available:
5:45pm
6:30pm
7:15pm
The room will be limited to 75 people for each time slot.

Enjoy shopping at our Pop-up Craft Market! We've invited some of the area's best crafters and makers to set up for the evening.
Adults can also craft a bookish holiday garland. Tickets for this free craft will be available beginning at 9am at the library's first floor desk.
As if that weren't enough, the Weiner Guy and Zonuts & Lattes food trucks will be here all night with delicious treats and food.
Midnight Madness is one of Ravenna’s longest-running annual events. Stores are open late. The city’s tree lighting takes place on the court house lawn and you can watch the holiday parade. Carriage rides, crafts, carolers, food trucks, and more are planned along with downtown holiday shopping.
