Meet The Great Pumpkin!
Someone tell Linus—the wait is over! The Great Pumpkin has finally arrived, and it’s taking up residence right here at the library for the entire month of October! Weighing in at a whopping 200 pounds, this gourd-geous giant is a true fall spectacle you won’t want to miss. Whether you're a lifelong Peanuts fan or just love all things autumn, this is the perfect spot to celebrate the season with a little imagination and a lot of pumpkin magic.
Linus Blanket Drive for Shelter Pets
Just like Linus and his blanket, every pet deserves comfort! Bring new blankets to the Worcester Public Library during our Happiness is 75 Years of Peanuts celebration or anytime during the month of October. All donations will go to local shelters to help pets feel warm, safe, and loved.
