EVENTS FOR CHILDREN

Adopt a Reading Buddy Campfire Storytime and "Sleepover"

Nov 10, 6:30-7:15pm

Let's gather round the campfire with our stuffies for some stories, campfire songs, and a s'mores snack! Stuffed animals are invited to stay at the library for a special "campout", and all participants will receive photos of what their stuffed animals got up to overnight at the library! This program is a celebration of the Adopt a Reading Buddy Program, but all children with stuffed animals are welcome to attend. Sponsored by the Hanson Public Library Foundation.
