Fall Festivals

Halloween is almost here! Before you know it, the ghosts and goblins will be showing up at your doorstep, with trick-or-treat bags in hand! It can be a fun time for horror fans and pranksters alike. But with all of the masks and monster makeup, strange noises and zombie movies... It can also be a scary time for kids. While it can definitely be fun to be scared - especially as you get older - sometimes you want a not-so-scary alternative! 

Join us for the Fall Literacy Festival at A. Philip Randolph Heritage Park in Jacksonville, FL on Friday, October 18, 2024, from 3 - 6 p.m. We are excited to celebrate the opening of our newly added StoryWalk® with our community partners. The festival promises to be fun, featuring face painting, arts & crafts, games, storytime, StoryWalk Tours, and much more!

Halloween is almost here! Before you know it, the ghosts and goblins will be showing up at your doorstep, with trick-or-treat bags in hand! It can be a fun time for horror fans and pranksters alike. And we can't forget about all of the yummy fall treats like pumpkin pie, caramel apples and free, full-sized candy bars from your favorite neighbor down the street! But with all of the masks and monster makeup, strange noises and zombie movies... It can also be a scary time for kids. While it can definitely be fun to be scared... Sometimes you want a not-so-scary alternative! And the Library has plenty of both!
