Build Your Own Spooky Friend at the Library! 
This Halloween season, the Evanston Public Library Children’s Department is bringing a monstrously fun adventure to life—literally! Join us for a hands-on Make Your Own Monster Scavenger Hunt, perfect for little ghouls and goblins who love creativity, surprises, and a little spooky silliness.
What to Expect
Kids will receive a special Monster Hunt Guide—a scavenger hunt sheet filled with adorable characters like:
