Dozens of children and their families welcomed the new year early at the La Jolla/Riford Library’s “Noon Year’s Eve” party Dec. 29.

Youth services librarian Katia Graham read a book and led the children and their parents in an hour-long dance party complete with snacks and New Year’s hats to keep.

After a countdown to noon, Graham performed a ball drop, lowering a disco ball to the floor as partygoers wished each other a happy new year.
