This family event for Library members features a reading of spooky Halloween tales, and a live musical performance, as well as games and surprises throughout the Library. The event will culminate in a costume showcase for children and their chaperones, with costume prizes awarded in several categories for children, and a special prize for parents.
Costume prizes will be awarded in the following categories. The costume judges are always especially impressed by homemade costumes, and creative ensembles:
- Funny
- Literary
- Scary
- Classic Halloween
- Animal
- Pretty
- Creative
- Superhero
- Parent
- Duo/Group costume
Light refreshments will be provided by the Library.
On 28 October, we encourage you to follow the trick-or-treating route we’ve set up, and visit nearby businesses in the 7th arrondissement.
