Fort Kent Public Library - Newsletter 55 - Week 3 - November '26
The Librarian’s Messy Desk
This week’s newsletter has been taken over by Children’s Librarian, Jenna Jandreau. Andrew will return to the keyboard next week!
I’m thrilled to write the newsletter this week, because I get to tell you all about an upcoming program I’m very excited about - the Stuffie Sleepover on Friday, November 20, and Saturday, November 21!
Children are invited to drop off a stuffie at the library between 3-5pm on Friday afternoon (we will be staying open an extra hour that day because of this program). Once the library closes, the stuffies will be able to enjoy all the best parts of the library; they’ll be treated to their own Storytime, be able to make puzzles, look up books in the catalog, build with LEGO, and more.
Kids can pick up their stuffies anytime between 9am and 1pm on Saturday morning, but we recommend coming by right before 10am so you can pick up your stuffie and they can join you for Children’s Storytime at 10am.
When you pick up your stuffie, we will provide you with a QR code (or a link) to view a photo album so you can check out everything your stuffie was up to overnight during the sleepover.
This is a free program, so bring your stuffie over on Friday afternoon and let them experience the library like never before!
Please note: The Library will be closed on Thanksgiving, November 26, and Friday, November 27. We will be open the Saturday following Thanksgiving.
