Cozy Fridays - Storytime & Stuffie Sleepover
About This Event
Join Queen Takes Book at our fall event series, Cozy Fridays! This week we are hosting Storytime & Stuffie Sleepover on November 20th at 6:00pm.
Come hang out with us for a storytime led by our bookseller, Christy! Pajamas and stuffed friends are encouraged. If your little one would like, they can leave their stuffed friend with us for a fun bookstore sleepover! We will be taking fun pictures of the bookstore hijinks the stuffies get up to when left unsupervised. Stuffie pick-up will be the next morning when the store opens at 10am.
This event is FREE to attend, but we kindly ask that you RSVP. Please RSVP for all of the children who are attending; adults do not have to RSVP or include themselves in the RSVP numbers. We can't wait to see you there!
About the Venue
Queen Takes Book
We are Columbia, MD's only independent bookstore. We believe that everyone should be able to see themselves in the pages of a book and are committed to providing a welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors. Columbia is halfway in-between Baltimore and Washington, D.C., making us accessible to people from both of these cities. We have a robust slate of book clubs and also do on-site and off-site author events and book fairs.
