Paddington Bear at Rio Dell Library

Paddington bear, wearing his red hat and blue coat, sits in a chair next to one of his books.

Have you read any Paddington Bear books? Then you know it's big news that Paddington Bear has come to live at the Rio Dell Library. He used to live in a very nice private library, but he missed being with children. So, when he asked to come live at the Rio Dell Public Library, his previous caretaker graciously agreed. Please come and say hello and read Paddington a story any time during open hours. He'll also be there at Story Time!
