Grafton Library welcomes back Mr. Kim, offers Stuffed Animal Hospital

Has a favorite stuffed animal seen better days? This week, you can drop them off at the Grafton Public Library for some tender, loving care.

To celebrate Pet First Aid Awareness Month, the library is hosting a Stuffed Animal Hospital. Drop off that favorite teddy bear or worn stuffed dog anytime during library hours through Thursday and pick them up by Saturday.

It’s just one program to highlight the activities available in the library’s Children’s Room, which is reintroducing computers, wall manipulatives, coloring sheets, games, and toys. 

In-room activities this month include the Monthly Mission animal match game. Investigate seedlings in the Science Nook. Celebrate National Poetry month by composing a quick poem on the magnetic poetry board. 

Programming is also returning with local favorite Mr. Kim performing at 10:30 a.m. on April 15 and April 29. Registration is required and families may only sign up for one Mr. Kim program per month. Register online at graftonlibrary.org
