Enter through the back of the library this year. The drive way between the library and American Legion will be blocked off to vehicles for safety of our children.

🎃👻 Halloween is Coming to SPL! 👻🎃

Shellsburg Public Library is gearing up for our annual Halloween celebration, and we’re excited to make it another fun and memorable event for the kids in our community!

As always, it takes a lot of planning—and a lot of goodies—to make this event special. We would greatly appreciate any monetary donation or donations of Halloween candy to help make the celebration a success. 🍬🍭

Every donation, big or small, helps us create a fun Halloween experience for our young library friends!

Thank you to our wonderful community for always supporting SPL and our children’s programs! 🧡

Donations can be dropped off at the Shellsburg Public Library.
