Press release submitted by Davenport Public Library HO! HO! HO! SANTA IS COMING TO THE DAVENPORT LIBRARY! He's made his list and he's checked it twice; now Santa's ready to visit the Davenport Public Library this holiday season. Santa's been here once already this year and is making two more special trips to the Main Street Library (321 Main Street) on Saturday, December 8 and 15, from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.; and from 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. each day.
