It's 11 p.m. on Friday night - do you know where your stuffed animal is? (Probably at the library)
There's a line in Babes in Toyland that goes: "Toyland, Toyland...once you cross its border you can never return again."

But, with a little imagination, perhaps you can. Take, for example the Ada Public Library's stuffed animal sleepover that took place Friday night. One glance at the photos in the essay at the bottom of this story, and maybe you'll have second thoughts.
The Icon believes that the 16 stuffed animals who spent the night in the library had lots of fun and probably didn't get much sleep.
This first-of-its-kind event is certain to be repeated. Next time there will probably be double the stuff animals from Friday. After all, stuffed animals talk and they'll tell their friends.
The photos in our essay are only a sliver of the over 40 photos of the event posted on the Ada Public Library Facebook.
