Boo Bash In-Person
This after-hours program at the Southeast Branch is the perfect place to show off your costume before the big night and get a start on collecting treats! Take part in our costume contest, a special storytime, jam out to music, and more fang-tastic activates with family and friends.
The storytime will take place at 6:15pm and we will announce our raffle winner at 7:45pm (winner must be present to claim prize).
The Costume Contest will be split into categories by age, with one designated for families with group costumes. Early Learning & School Age will be at 6:45pm. Family will be at 7:00pm. Tween & Teen will be at 7:15pm. Participants may enter both as an individual in their age range and with family in the Family category. Prizes awarded will be age appropriate for each category.
Costume Guidelines
- No weapons of any kind may be part of the costume. This includes foam swords and plastic throwing stars.
- At no point during the event will APL assume responsibility for costume components. Costume props and accessories are the responsibility of the wearer and their adult.
- Costume components may not impede the flow of event traffic or another patron's experience at the event. (e.g., large wings, trailing capes)
- Any patron wearing a costume that displays hateful or discriminatory language will not be eligible for a prize.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at (817) 459-6900 or by email at LIBYouthServices@arlingtontx.gov.
