From 10h–19h on 26 October, the Library invites you to follow the trick-or-treating route we’ve set up, and visit nearby businesses in the 7th arrondissement.

Pick up your trick-or-treating maps at the Library on 26 October. They are free for Library members and 10€ per family for non-members. You do not need to pre-register in order to trick-or-treat.

This is a self-led activity.

How to trick-or-treat:

1. Put on your costume.
2. Find a bag for your candy.
3. Find your grown-up (they’ll need to be with you from now on!).
4. Pick up your map at The American Library in Paris.
5. Follow the map to the trick-or-treating spots.
6. At each spot, say: “Trick or treat” and take one piece of the candy.
7. Say: “Thank you! Happy Halloween!” before you leave.
8. Walk (don’t run) on the sidewalk (with your grown-up) to the next spot.
9. Trade the candy with friends if there’s something you don’t like.
10. Take your candy home to enjoy after your grown-up looks it over.
