Trick or Treat Bags -- Library Staff Activity for Halloween

 


Since everyone loves candy, but we don’t necessarily “Trick or Treat” as adults, we’re going to have a fun staff activity involving creating Halloween Trick or Treat bags.

Participation in this activity is strictly voluntary.

Between October 15 and October 27, each person may decorate a trick or treat bag for Halloween. Supplies to decorate bags can be found on the table in the back office. You are encouraged to decorate bags during a work shift, so get one of us to help cover the desk for you. Please be creative in your decorating, but vulgarity is discouraged. Once bags are decorated, they will be places along the back table.

Between October 28 & October 31, anyone who wishes to may put some candy or treats inside the bags. IF you choose to participate in this part, please bring enough items for everyone’s bag. There are 30 people working at the library. Please be aware we have an employee who is allergic to nuts and at least one employee who is vegetarian. Please be conscious of these facts when bringing in items. The overall goal is fun, creativity & enjoyment.

Starting October 31, you may take your bag with you. Make sure your bag is taken before leaving for Thanksgiving Break.

Since not everyone may make a bag, any extra candy will be put in a bowl, so everyone can help themselves.

Happy Halloween!
