La Salle library to hand out books, goodie bag for Hometown Halloween

Library supports Teal Pumpkin Project to provide nonfood items for children with allergies

La Salle Public Library

The La Salle Public Library will join the Hometown Halloween festivities from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28. Children can come to the library for a gift book, a glowstick and a goodie bag.

The goodie bags will be marked with either a teal pumpkin, indicating the items are not food, or an orange pumpkin, indicating the items are food items. A professional, seasonally themed photo background also will be available to capture family memories.

The library is a supporter of the Teal Pumpkin Project. The project, launched in 2014 by Food Allergy Research & Education, provides nonfood items for trick-or-treaters with allergies. For information about the project, visit www.tealpumpkinproject.org.

The La Salle Public Library is located at 305 Marquette St. and is Americans With Disabilities Act-compliant. For information, call the library at 815-223-2341.
