The library has been the home for a large collection of stuffed animals for a long time. Now, they need a new home and new people to take care of them. So, we’re asking YOU to adopt one of our stuffies and bring them home to take care of. Kids are welcome to come to the Gold Room at the library to find the perfect stuffed animal to bring home and call their own. Each animal or character is one of a kind. Creatures available for adoption range in size from small to very large so be prepared to help your child make the right decision for your family and home. Stuffed animals available while they last. One adoption per child.
