Nevertheless, the future of the library comes under danger when a rich contractor, named Tony Shaughnessy (Robin Dunne), purchases the building intending to transform it into high-end condos.

Not prepared to lose the library and its value to the community, Cheri chooses to take matters into her own hands to conserve the structure. Throughout her battle, she discovers a Christmas tree decorating competitors that might be the solution to her problem. The contest awards $50,000 to the winner, a quantity that can conserve the library from its doom.
