Stuffed Animal Sleepover

Register for the annual RFL Stuffed Animal Sleepover for your child to be able to drop off a stuffed animal on Thursday, July 20th between 4 and 5 pm, and come to the Pick Up Party on Friday at 11 am to reunite with their friend, watch a slideshow of all the amazing activities the stuffies got up to during their sleepover, and enjoy a snack and activity together. Registration is required for this event, and space is limited to 30 stuffed animals. Same-day registration will be allowed so long as there is space left!

Little’s Wiggles Time: Fridays at 5

We’re starting a new weekly program on Friday evenings at 5:00! Little’s Wiggles Time is a movement-focused storytime for our wiggly littles who may not be so sure about sitting still for a traditional storytime. We’ll sing songs, dance, and move our bodies, read a book, and work on some early literacy skills while we’re having fun! This program is for anyone who has ever worried about their kiddo fussing through a book at storytime! It will be held inside the library so our littles can move around without being in danger of running into the road.

The parents we asked, requested an evening time and a Friday time, so we’ve done our best compromise and chosen Friday evenings at 5:00. If this time does not end up working for folks, we may end up moving the day and time.

Please note that since this program is held inside, grownups will be required to wear masks. Littles can of course try to wear their masks, but we won’t require our tiny friends to keep them on if they are struggling. See you on Friday!
