Stuffed Animals Cause Mischief and Mayhem in the Easton Area Public Library's Main Branch!

On Friday afternoon, 21 stuffed animals (and their owners) attended a very special Teddy Bear Sleepover storytime with Miss Berry at the Easton Area Public Library.

The stuffed friends listened to stories, sang songs, went on a special parachute ride, and got tucked in while their owners ate brownies. After the snack, the children said goodbye to their stuffed animals and left them for a weekend sleepover in the library.

After the humans left the library, the mischief began!

The stuffed animals climbed into the book drop slot, piled onto the book carts, and scaled the library book shelves. They broke into the storytime room, knocked over the shakers, and played with the puzzles. The fuzzy friends played on the computers and with the trains at the train table, put on a puppet show, and even made themselves their own special library cards!

When Miss Berry opened up the Children's Room on Saturday morning she had quite a mess to deal with. All the fuzzy friends had a blast, and here are the pictures to prove it!

Keva Planks are Here!

The Pennsylvania Bureau of Library Development has supplied the Easton Area Public Library with Keva Planks! We have them on the tables in our Series Section.  We've had the preschool play area for years.  Now, we now have toys for grade school kids too!

Teddy Bears Sleep Over at the Easton Public Library

Mischief and mayhem abounded at the Easton Public Library's Main Branch this weekend. After attending a very special Friday afternoon storytime, 19 stuffed animal friends were tucked in for the weekend and kissed goodbye by their owners.

When Miss Berry opened the Children's Room for the weekend on Saturday morning, she could not believe the mess that she found! The stuffed animals had left piles of books, crayons, musical instruments, and puzzles around the children's room. All weekend long the animals read books, colored pictures, got into the scarves and shakers, and played on the book carts and train tables. Miss Berry was particularly surprised that the animals had played her ukulele and that a large stuffed frog wore her glasses and name tag!

Luckily, Miss Berry was able to capture some of the animal exploits with her camera. We hope you enjoy the photos from our third Teddy Bear Sleepover at the Easton Area Public Library. Also, we would like to extend a very warm thank you to the boys and girls who allowed their stuffed friends to spend a fun-filled weekend at the library!
