Merry the Christmas Fairy first landed in Marshall County in 2015 when the library saw an opportunity to promote early literacy through the holidays. The first year Santa's librarian made visits to the library's Story Hour programs, but soon her holiday reach grew.
The Marshall County Public Library was honored to be recognized by the Kentucky Lakes Chamber of Commerce as the 2025 Business of the Year. The award recognizes excellence, innovation, and community commitment in Marshall County.
