Children’s Garden Grand Reopening – A Spooktacular Celebration!
Saturday, October 18, 2025
1:30 – 4:00 pm

Join us as we celebrate the grand reopening of the Library’s beloved Children’s Garden—now blooming with a brand-new outdoor pavilion that expands NRPL’s outdoor programming space! It’s a spooktacular celebration full of family fun with pumpkin decorating, face painting, photo ops with Esteban the Magnificent from The Day the Crayons Came Home, Halloween Dreams & Screams live music and more. 

We’ll kick off the frightfully fun festivities with a special ribbon cutting to officially open the pavilion, featuring a performance by Songcatchers. Come dressed in costume and explore the garden, enjoying a day rooted in creativity, connection, community and a bit of seasonal creepiness too!
