About us
The City of Menlo Park's libraries offer a variety of programs, including art events, author talks, info sessions, craft sessions, music events, and more. To make the most of our programming efforts and this meetup page, we’d love for you to get involved. If you come to a program, say hi and let us know you saw it on meetup. If you have an idea for something you’d like to see at the library, send us a message. The library is a great space for community meetups and we’d love to play a role in making those connections!

Stuffed Animal Sleepover
Belle Haven Library, Belle Haven Community Campus, 100 Terminal Ave., Menlo Park, ca, USBoth Menlo Park library locations are hosting a very special sleepover just for stuffed animals!
Kids, bring your plush stuffie (and your grownups) along as you join us for an evening storytime. Then say goodnight to your little friend, and go home for the night. When you pick up your toy the next day, you’ll learn all about their overnight adventures at the library!
Sleepover guidelines:
- Just one stuffed animal per child.
- It's best to choose a toy that will not be missed too much for one night.
- Sorry adults, only the children's toys may spend the night!
