Booktacular Tales

The Nowaczyk Family Children’s Literature Centre is excited to introduce BOOKTACULAR TALES, an exciting new addition to our annual series of children’s literacy events—and our first-ever Halloween event!

- Sunday, October 25
- 4:00–6:30 PM
- Frostburg State University-Pullen Hall Parking Lot/Education Health Sciences Center
- Presented in partnership with FSU’s Trunk or Treat!

After many magical years, the CLC has concluded its Harry Potter Book Night tradition. Harry Potter Book Night will not return in 2027 or in future years. Instead, this October we’re excited to begin a brand-new annual tradition—BOOKTACULAR TALES! 

Our first Booktacular Tales will feature a read-aloud of Click, Clack, Boo! by Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin, along with an entire evening of Halloween fun:

- Giant inflatable maze with hidden prizes
- Prize Loot Machine
- Lots of fun Halloween photo opportunities
- Spooky Discovery Room
- Crafts
- Games
- FREE snacks
- Multiple prizes and giveaways throughout the event
- EVERY CHILD GOES HOME WITH A FREE BOOK!

DOUBLE THE HALLOWEEN FUN AT FSU!

We’re especially excited to present Booktacular Tales in partnership with FSU’s Trunk or Treat! We are grateful to the FSU students, organizations, and their director who coordinate Trunk or Treat each year and have welcomed the CLC as part of this special campus tradition.

Families can enjoy Booktacular Tales AND FSU’s Trunk or Treat during one fun-filled evening on campus!

Costumes are encouraged! Bring the whole family and join us as we launch what we hope will become a favorite new CLC annual tradition. 

We can’t wait to celebrate this new chapter with our community!

BOOKTACULAR TALES — where books, imagination, and Halloween fun come together!

And, as always, everything we do at the Children’s Literature Centre is rooted in our mission:

“BUILDING A PASSION FOR LIFELONG READING”
