Stripes will never be eligible for a library card but will be a very important patron Sept. 12 at the Lenexa City Center Library. Stripes is a toy — an orange tabby cat from Shawnee — signed up for the first of the Toys Night Out events offered this fall at Johnson County Library locations. Toys will be dropped off at a branch in the afternoon and picked up the next morning. In between, the toys will be doing what librarians do: working at a desk, going through the book sorter and shelving books. All the while, library staff will be taking photos of the toys’ adventures. When the children pick up their toys, they will receive the list of library materials curated by the toy that they can then check out, and either printed photos or a digital slide show of their toy’s adventures the night before.
