Guests enjoy a Halloween event at the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest in 2020.
This month, the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest will turn into a spooky scene for guests of all ages.
CHILDREN
In the children’s department, a “Spooktacular” event will be held Oct. 29 at 6:30 p.m. in the community room and amphitheater, and guests will hear “spine-tingling” stories in the amphitheater surrounded by the creepy woods. Guests also can enjoy a Halloween program for preschoolers in the community room, and both shows end with Halloween treats for all.
Children also can enjoy pumpkin painting on Oct. 21 at 3:30 p.m. in the children’s program room and can learn to make “pumpkin monsters” in the “Picking up S.T.E.A.M.” program on Oct. 20 at 3:30 p.m. in the children’s program room.
At 4 p.m. on Oct. 19 in the amphitheater, teens can carve pumpkins of their own and try to solve a haunted escape room. That event takes place Oct. 12 at 4 p.m. in the community room, and snacks will be served.
