Get ready for the annual Stuffed Animal Sleepover!
Bring your stuffed animal to sleep over at the library. Say goodnight and tell them to be good! Who knows what kind of mischief they could get into…
Stuffed animals can be dropped off on Wednesday, June 28th anytime between 12pm and 4:45pm. Please register online here before dropping off your stuffed animal so that we have your contact information. Come back at 1pm the next day to pick up your sleepy stuffies.

Donate your used & unwanted crayons!

The National Crayon Recycle Program recycles unwanted, rejected, broken crayons into new crayons, keeping thousands of pounds out of the landfills and back into the creative hands of children! Please bring your old crayons to our donation bin in the Children’s Room anytime UNTIL APRIL 19TH
