About this event
Children's Patio. Join the Groton Public Library for its 11th annual Bumpers & Books: a Literary Trunk or Treat! The Library staff, community volunteers, 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. All the vehicles will be decorated to represent books, authors, or Dewey Decimal call numbers. There will be balloon artistry, crafts, face painting, tattoos, and free snacks. Attendees may also wander our Book Patch and select a brand-new book, take photos in the Picture Patch, wander in our Cemetery of Banned Books, and play lawn games. 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 Kim at 860-441-6750 or kbalentine@groton-ct.gov. The rain date for this event is Saturday, October 24th.
