A stuffie sleepover at the library

Friday evening is pajama storytime, then the librarians keep the stuffed animals overnight. Pick them up Saturday.

The children’s newsletter lists autumn story times at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. Baby storytime (ages 0–18 months) is Tuesdays, Sep. 8 through Nov. 17. Toddler storytime (18 months to 3 years) is Thursdays, Sep. 10 through Nov. 19. Preschool (ages 3–5) is not on the Friday list for Sep. 25. The listed Fridays are Sep. 11, Sep. 18, Oct. 2, Oct. 9, Oct. 16, Oct. 30, and three November dates. The newsletter does not assign 9:00 or 11:00 to a single age group, so this issue does not guess which clock is which.
