Families can create a book character pumpkin (uncarved) at home then bring them to the library during the month of October for patron voting during our Book Character Pumpkin Contest! We will pair your completed pumpkin with the related book before displaying it! The winning pumpkin will be announced on November 1 and will receive a $40 Target or Amazon gift card! 

Patron voting begins Monday October 25, so you still have time to bring your pumpkins in! Be sure to leave your family name/phone number along with your pumpkin. Feel free to "name" your pumpkin!
