The Knoxville Public Library Christmas Tree of Books donation program begins today.

At the library, a tree is adorned with book jackets and descriptions of books the library would like to have donated for Christmas. Holly Shelford with the library says a donation can be a touching gift for that person on your Christmas List who is difficult to shop for. She says many people use the book as a way to memorialize a loved one. The Christmas Tree of Books will be available for personalized donation until the end of December. The tree is on the second floor of the library. Talk to library staff for more information about donating.
