MEREDITH — Collectors and gift-givers will have three choices this year in the Meredith Public Library Keepsake Ornament Collection. 

The first ornament in the 2025 collection provides a classic photo view of the original library in the early 1900s rendered in black and white featuring a horse drawn carriage on the street in front of the building. The second ornament offers a colorized version of the same picture. Both of these are metal ornaments.

The third ornament is ceramic and is also in color. It features a different view of the library from early days. This ornament evokes a Victorian feeling in its material and design.

All the holiday ornaments have a red ribbon for easy hanging. They also come with a red satin bag which makes them perfect for Christmas gifting and storage. The library logo and current year are on the back of the metal ornament so owners will associate cherished memories from the corresponding holiday season. The back of the ceramic ornament cites the year 1882, which is the year that the Meredith Public Library was originally established.

The ornaments are created and produced in Meredith by PineAndBerry.com. They are available for sale exclusively at the Meredith Public Library circulation desk. Proceeds go to the Friends of the Meredith Library which uses the funds to provide speakers for library presentations as well as supplies and refreshments for programs.
