Unique to Rochester, The Polar Express experience transforms the Rochester Hills Public Library into a winter wonderland. This event offers trolley rides through the Big Bright Light Show, ornament making, pictures with Santa, cookie decorating, readings of the Polar Express and so much more to nearly 1,500 parents and children.

“Rochester Hills Public Library’s Polar Express brings family and friends together to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season,” said Senator Peters. “It was a pleasure to participate as a guest reader and help promote literacy among Rochester’s youth.”

Other celebrity guest readers included Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan Barnett, Meadow Brook Elementary School Principal Seth Berg, Bill Gawthrop and his therapy dog Trinity, and Chief Medical Officer Sheryl Wissman of Crittenton Hospital.

“This was Senator Peters first time as a celebrity guest reader and we are honored to have had him. We want to thank all of our celebrity guest readers for their inspiring commitment to the library’s mission in creating lifelong readers,” says Library Director Christine Lind Hage.
