THE DAILY LEADER / RHONDA DUNAWAY / Ten-year-old John Paul Farr (left), of Brookhaven, and his little sister, Carly Farr, 6, examine details of Maxine Allen's Christmas Village with library intern Alexis Smith, 22, of Brookhaven, in the lobby of the Lincoln County Public Library Wednesday afternoon. Allen has been setting up her snow village in the library lobby each Christmas season for the last several years. "I started collecting 18 years ago when co-worker, Carolyn Douglas, gifted me with a church and a library," Allen said. "Family, friends and co-workers have been finding pieces to go in my set since then. Currently, I am looking for a pharmacy and a hospital to complete the village."
