Join us for a special Spring Stuffy Sleepover at the Barbara Bush Branch Library where one of your stuffies will spend the night at the library!

Say goodnight to them during this Drop-Off Storytime and pick them up the next day. The Children's Librarians will tuck them for their night away and keep them safe. How much mischief could they possibly get into at the quiet library?

After a long night at the library making new friends, you can pick up your stuffy anytime on Friday, March 20th.
