Suggestions are activity books with crayons, pencil colors, or markers; small toys; craft kits; stuffed/ plastic animals, dolls or action figures; and puzzles or games. The Friends of the Colby Library group will be adding a book for the child to read in each bag. 3. Return the filled bag to the CCL with these dates in mind: Return bags by November 29 if they contain holiday- themed items. Return bags by December 29 if they contain items for year-round enjoyment.
