Halloween is coming up fast, and we’re getting ready for our annual Halloween Party at Hope Library!

We’re looking for donations of individually wrapped Halloween candy and small toys or prizes to help make the evening special for all the kids who join us. If you have a bag of candy, a few small toys, or would like to make a cash donation, we would truly appreciate your support!

Donations can be dropped off at the library during our regular hours before October 27th. Every little bit helps us put together a fun and memorable Halloween for our library families. Thank you so much for helping us make this event possible!
