These are stuffed animals from the library’s outreach program to Tot-Lot Daycare.

Some of the animals started the evening, building towers. Good thing a giraffe was part of the building crew.

Many of the stuffed animals were playing a rousing game of Wii.

It was a close game of 2-on-2 basketball.

Everyone was up for a horse ride!

Willie wanted to have scary story time. He read a book about a stuffed animal that gets left behind in a laundromat!!

Willie followed up with a heartwarming book.

Everyone’s getting hungry. Time to order pizza!

Everyone is ready for dinner.

It was about time to get ready for bed, but the animals had a different idea. They played Hide and Go Seek!

They’re quite good at hiding.

The children’s book section is a good hiding place.

We better get these fellas settled down. They were up for a game of head butting!!

All quiet at the library. Good night everybody!
