That's another Trunk or Treat and Downtown Trick or Treating in the books! THANK YOU to all the community partners who came out and made this such a special day. We would like to especially thank all the organizations who decorated your trunks so wonderfully, as well as the City of West Chicago!

Winner of 2026's "Best Decorated Trunk" award (and corresponding local bragging rights) is La Michoacana Elite! Make sure to take a look at the photos for all these wonderful trunks though and to support organizations that support your local library!

This program always brings such joy, and we're already planning next year!

Thank you for being our patrons, and for being our community. See you at the library!
