If you come into the library during December and find where Pippin is hiding, let th...e library staff know and they will be able to give you a little present from Pippin himself! Make sure that if you do find Pippin, you keep it a secret so everyone else can have fun finding him too. And don’t touch him, or he will lose all his magic!! He needs to stay very, very still, and very, very quiet. Pippin will be in a new hiding spot every weekday and every Sunday from December 1 to December 24, so make sure you come and find him before he leaves again for the North Pole! #burwoodlibrary #nswpubliclibraries #pippinatburwood See more
