Event Details

It's time for our annual Book Character Pumpkin Palooza! All you need is a favorite story or book character.

This year, the event is open to ALL AGES!

Stop by any of our locations and pick up an entry form, or print out the attached form. 

Entry Rules-

  • Due to rotting, we can not accept real pumpkins. All pumpkins need to be fake (foam, cardboard, or plastic).
  • Do not carve your pumpkin.
  • You can decorate your pumpkin with paint, markers, cloth, glue, construction paper, or whatever you need to embellish your pumpkin. To help keep our libraries clean, we ask that you do not use glitter. Remember, do not carve your pumpkin.
  • Pumpkins must be based on a book character.
  • Families are encouraged to work together, but we ask that most of the work be done by the individual. 
  • Pumpkins should be turned in at any DHCLS location no later than 5 p.m. on October 21, 2024.
  • All entries will be entered into a drawing, one drawing per age group. 
  • Pumpkins can be picked up beginning November 1, 2024, at the location where they were dropped off.
  • Please note that any pumpkin not picked up after November 8, 2024, will be discarded.
