Big Ted's Children's Week 2024 Annual Sleepover.

All children are welcome to bring a toy (hint- maybe not their favorite one) to the Broome Public Library on Tuesday 22nd October for a sleepover.

Please arrive at 3pm where a Toy Storytime will take place.

After the Storytime we will do a craft session to make your “sleepover toy” a comfy bed with their own night light and cuddly blanket to snuggle into. Then we will tuck them in tight before singing them a goodnight lullaby.

On the Wednesday afternoon at 3pm please return to wake up your toys with a lively wake-up song. Then each toy will collect their very own book to read with their family while everyone enjoys healthy snacks and drinks.

The Broome Public library knows how good your toys are and trust them to have a good and safe night's sleep.
