who would like to see the world! Take one of our teddies
on vacation this summer with you and your family. Take
pictures of your teddy as you travel. Send postcards from
your teddy back to the Library. This program will run from
Memorial Day until Labor Day. Come to the Youth
Information Desk to sign out one of our traveling teddies and
it’s colorful backpack. All photographs, postcards and
other travel memorabilia is saved for a scrapbook that will be
on display the following season.
JACK is ready,
wiling and able for any adventure you will encounter. He loves
reading about other bears! If you cannot read, make up a story
as he cannot read either!
ROSE is ready
to be your BFF! Anything you do together will be more fun! Tell
her about your favorite book.
SAM is a fanatical
sports fan, especially baseball. His favorite snack is goldfish
crackers. Sam loves a good bedtime story. If you cannot read,
make up a story as he cannot read either!
SHAMUS loves the
great outdoors. Give him fresh air, exercise and sunshine and he
couldn't be happier. His favorite activity is hiking to the
library!
SUNNY like her
name, is always in a great mood! She will raise your spirits,
too. She never wakes up cranky as long as she has been read to
before she falls asleep.
The teddies have been a lot of fun places,

some of their adventures.
