Let your stuffed animal run wild in the library for a special stuffy sleepover! Drop off your stuffy from Monday, September 14 through Thursday, September 17. From Monday, September 21 through Tuesday, September 22, pick them up and get a photo book of all their adventures!
The Stuffed Animal Sleepover is a multi-day library event where children leave a plush toy behind for a week of supervised nighttime mischief and reading adventures. To participate, bring one of your child's stuffed animals to the Zebulon Community Library between Monday, September 14 and Thursday, September 17. This activity is best suited for toddlers and preschoolers, though any child who can tolerate being separated from their toy for a few days is welcome. There is no cost to participate, and parking is available in the library's free surface lot. This is a low-stress weekday activity that builds excitement for reading. Your child will love returning the following week, between September 21 and September 22, to pick up their toy and receive a printed booklet showing what their stuffed friend did after the library closed.
When do we drop off and pick up the stuffed animals?
Drop-off runs from Monday, September 14 through Thursday, September 17. You can pick up your toy and its adventure photo book on Monday, September 21 or Tuesday, September 22.
Is there a fee for the photo book?
No, this entire program, including the personalized photo book of your toy's adventures, is completely free.
Which toy should we bring?
Only bring a toy that your child is comfortable sleeping without for a few nights, as they will be staying at the library for a full week.
