Mrs. Claus Storytime

Linda Pagnella, retired Pacific Grove children’s librarian, dresses in a Santa hat and red Santa dress trimmed in faux white fur when she makes her appearances as Mrs. Claus.

Her true love for children as well as her decades of service to the community make her an expert on children’s storytime, and also earned her recognition as "Citizen of the Year" (Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, 2011).

During the course of her program, Linda reads several well-known children’s holidays books (such as The Polar Express and Frosty the Snowman), interspersed with songs. Her program is very interactive, and children love to participate.

Resorts such as Asilomar State Park and Conference Grounds and The Inn at Spanish Bay have been delighted with her services.
