Bala Cynwyd’s Belmont Hills Library to host Holiday Markets
We all have them on our holiday shopping list. They are those loved ones that are nearly impossible to shop for each year. But this year, you may find the best help in the most unexpected place: your local library.
This year, the Holiday Markets are already underway, thanks to the hard work of the Belmont Hills Library. Two more dates remain for these unique shopping experiences, which are free to attend and open to the public.
On Saturday, Dec. 6 and Saturday, Dec. 13, there will be open Holiday Markets at the library, 120 Mary Watersford Road, in Bala Cynwyd. A multitude of vendors will be at each market, with unique shopping experiences each date. From ceramics and fiber arts, to mixed media arts, digital designs, and crafts, you can find unique gift selections even for those toughest folks on the list.
The markets also include the sale of jewelry, candles, and even baked goods.
