A parent-child storytime of shared reading, songs and early-literacy practice gets a holiday addition on Dec. 5: Santa is scheduled to tell a festive story and pose for family portraits.

All times are local to the venue · America/Chicago
At Pleasant Grove Branch Library, Santa’s visit is part of a parent-child storytime, not the only activity on the schedule. Families are invited to listen to stories, sing songs and practice literacy skills together before Santa shares a festive story and poses for portraits on Saturday, Dec. 5, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Dallas Public Library classifies the gathering as an Early Literacy program and describes parents and children listening to stories, singing and practicing literacy skills together. Santa’s scheduled story and family portraits add a seasonal feature to that shared storytime format.
The event page gives one overall window, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; it does not publish a separate time or appointment schedule for Santa or the portraits.

The calendar also lists occurrences on Sept. 5, Oct. 3 and Nov. 7, 2026. Santa’s festive story and the family portraits are described for the Dec. 5 listing; the calendar does not establish that those features were part of the earlier dates.
