Halloween Events at the Old Forge Library

Grab n' Go Craft Activity Bags

Back by popular demand, the library will have free Halloween-themed grab bags full of goodies for kids! Grab n' Go bags will include crafts, activities for kids to work on at home, and other surprises. Each contains all the materials and directions to make leaf puppet bookmarks; paper cup ghosts; popsicle stick pumpkins, spiderwebs, and witches.

These kits may be picked up on Friday, October 25 from 10 am - 4 pm or Saturday, October 27 from 10 am - 2 pm during the library's hours of operation.

Bags are most fun for ages 4-11.

Supplies are limited to 80 so registration is strongly suggested as the library frequently runs out.

Please call 315 369-6008 or e-mail oldforge@midyork.org to reserve a bag for a child. 

Halloween Party 

The library hasn't had a Halloween Party since the pandemic! Plan to boogie down on Friday, October 25 from 2:30 -4:30 pm. Stop by for lots of family fun: 80’s music and iron-on patches and paint to transform a canvas bag into a personalized Trick-or-Treat bag (materials provided) and of course, there will be spooky snacks!

Costumes are welcome and encouraged. The party is free and open to all.

Trick-or-treating 

The library and friends and family will be outside on the library lawn with some added Halloween fun for trick-or-treaters and families during the village-wide Trick or Treat on Thursday, October 31.  All are welcome to warm up by the campfire, and kids get a goodie bag full of corny prizes and Fun Dip. The public bathroom is an added bonus, especially for the little ones!  If you don't get many trick-or-treaters at your house, come join the fun! The library invites other businesses, organizations, and individuals to share our lawn to pass out treats to the kids.  

The library also has 3 October-themed craft nights!
