Drop off your stuffed animal on 4/4 for a sleepover at CCPL! Rejoin your stuffed friend on 4/5 for storytime and to hear about its adventure! View the full description for important registration info.

We're having a sleepover for your favorite stuffed animal at the library! On Tuesday, April 4, drop off your stuffed animal friend at the Kids Desk between 9am and 6pm. Your stuffed buddy will stay all night and share many adventures with other stuffed animals as they make friends and explore the library together. Then on Wednesday, April 5, join us at 6:30pm for a special Jammie Time storytime and reunite with your stuffed animal. As part of the fun, you'll watch a slideshow of all the adventures the stuffed animal friends had—and any mischief they got into!

Registration is required and begins March 27. Please sign up each child separately. To reserve a spot, each child must be

  • 4–8 years old
  • Able to participate in both the stuffed animal drop-off on April 4 and the storytime on April 5

Each registered child may bring one stuffed animal for the sleepover. Please consider your child's attachment to the stuffed animal before registering, as the toys will be locked in the library overnight after closing and will not be available again until the storytime on April 5.

Although siblings of registered participants may not participate in the stuffed animal sleepover on April 4, siblings are welcome to attend the accompanying storytime on April 5 and bring their own stuffed animal friend to the storytime.

Don't forget to wear your jammies!
