On Oct. 25, the North Bellmore Public Library hosted its annual Halloween carnival, offering a morning of festive fun for children and families.

Young attendees dressed in costumes during the morning event and enjoyed a variety of activities, including crafts, games, and the chance to take photos at a themed photobooth. The event also featured a selection of prizes for participants.

Teens from the community volunteered to help run the carnival, adding to the excitement and making the event a true community effort.

Earlier in the month, the library held a costume sale to help families prepare for Halloween, offering affordable options for those looking to add a little extra flair to their holiday celebrations.
