Join the Junior Friends of the Groton Public Library for their ninth annual Bumpers & Books, a festive twist on a traditional trunk-or-treat event. The Junior Friends and their families, as well as Library staff and town employees, will be on hand in the Library's back parking lot to give out treats from the trunks of their decorated vehicles. The twist? All the vehicles will be decorated in author- and book-related themes. From Curious George and Harry Potter to Goosebumps and Great Expectations, don't miss our book-tacular display of trunks! There will be balloon artistry, crafts, face painting, and tattoos for children and a library swag sale for adults. Attendees may also wander our Book Patch and select a free, new book. 

Bumpers & Books is free and open to the public. Children are encouraged to dress in book- or author-related costumes to add to the festivities. 

If you’re interested in decorating your vehicle for display or donating candy and treats, please contact Miss Kim at 860-441-6750. 

The rain date for this event is Saturday, October 26th.
