The children each had their own puppy on tables throughout the room, they got stuffing and happily stuffed their puppies until they were full. Then they got a puppy sized T-shirt which read, 'The Hempstead County Library' for their puppy to wear. Each stuffed pup got a personalized birth certificate that the boys and girls filled out.

Smiles were in abundance as the happy youngsters piled together to take a picture, as cheerful parents and grandparents stood alongside grinning just as big as their kids.
