Stuffed Animal Sleepover

On May 7th 2010 we had the children of Temple Terrace bring their stuffed animals to have a sleepover at the library. The stuffed animals had tons of fun playing Wii, watching a movie, listening to a story, reading under the covers, and much more. Pictures of the event are below. The children came and picked up their furry friends the next morning and enjoyed donuts, juice, listened to a story, and looked at the pictures from the night before.
