What Else is Coming Up?

We have lots of fun stuff in store for you in the coming weeks, from Easter egg hunts to wonderful programs about wizardy. We'll keep you posted about these and other events, so be sure to check back.

Calling All Stuffed Animals, Dolls, and Action Figures!

You are cordially invited to a very special event just for you!

Where: West Regional Library
When: Monday, April 5th, 7:00 pm

The children's department is hosting a sleepover for toys!

Children can bring a stuffed animal, doll, or action figure--along with a blanket and pillow--to a special session of bedtime stories.

Then we will tuck the toys in for the night for their very own slumber party!  What will the toys do when the library lights go out? We will have hidden cameras set up to capture all of the action.  Children can find out what happened when they return the next morning to pick them up and enjoy a special breakfast. 

**Note: Children themselves will NOT be spending the night in the libary.

Having Some Fun @ the WRL


One of our favorite dolls turned 51 on March 9th and we had a blast honoring her with a birthday celebration.  We made birthday crowns, listened to her favorite birthday story--Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present by Charlotte Zolotow, played a dancing game, and decorated high fashion paper dolls.  We thought we'd share some photos with you.
 Can you guess who the birthday girl was? (Hint: Her name starts with B.)
