The stuffed animals had an unforgettable night at the Library Stuffed Animal Sleepover Paw-ty! 🌙🧸✨

Once the library lights went out, the REAL fun began!
The stuffed animals explored the shelves, played games, read stories together, and even tried their paws at checking out books! 📚🐻

Some snuck into the Children’s Library for a late-night adventure, others made new furry friends, and a few got caught having races through the aisles after bedtime! 🐯🦊🐰

They also enjoyed:
⭐ Storytime under the stars
⭐ Building blanket forts
⭐ Playing hide-and-seek
⭐ Working on library “jobs”
⭐ Taking silly group photos
⭐ And, of course… LOTS of midnight snacking! 🍿

By morning, the stuffed animals were tired from all their adventures but had so many stories to tell their owners! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this magical night at the library. ❤️

Be sure to check out the photos to see what your stuffed friends were up to while you were asleep! 📸🧸
