During the program., kids and caregivers will help a penguin stuffy get ready to join their family, adding polyfil and love. Wish on a magic wish star and make a beautiful necklace for your new friend. Plus, if you stop by at 11:00, you'll also hear a penguin story read aloud.

This event is part of our Take Your Child to the Library Day celebration and other family-friendly activities will be going on in the library from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

Registration for this Make-Your-Own stuffy event is limited and separate from registration from the general Take Your Child to the Library Day event.  Please register each child participating separately, so we make sure we have enough supplies for each child.
