The library is hosting a virtual pumpkin decorating contest again this year! All you need is a pumpkin and your imagination to decorate with materials found at home! The pumpkin may be real or artificial, small to medium size. No carving permitted. The library does not provide pumpkins or decorating supplies.

Participants can take a photo with their pumpkin and email it to programs@schillerparklibrary.org. The deadline to submit a photo of your creation is Saturday, October 23.

Library staff will create an album on Facebook in which the public will be able to select their favorite creation October 25-31. The pumpkin with the most likes is declared the winner. The winner will be notified and announced via social media on Tuesday, November 2.

Children are invited to write and illustrate a picture book to add to the library collection!  See your book come to life!
