It’s time to celebrate spooky season at HMMPL — and support our amazing staff at the same time! Our annual Staff Halloween Costume Contest is in full swing. Historically, this fun has been reserved for staff only, but this year, you get to help crown the champion.

All proceeds from the contest go directly toward HMMPL’s Staff Good Vibes Fund, which supports fun activities, appreciation events, and small tokens of gratitude throughout the year. Your donation helps us celebrate the people who make the library such a welcoming and inspiring place for everyone — from organizing programs and assisting patrons, to keeping our shelves stocked, and our community connected.

Here’s how it works: HMMPL staff members have gone all out with their creative, funny, and frightfully festive costumes. You can help decide who takes home the title of Best Costume by donating to cast your vote! Each dollar equals one vote, so the more you give, the more your favorite costume rises to the top.

Whether you’re voting for the most creative, the funniest, or the downright spookiest costume, your contribution makes a real difference. Every dollar reminds our staff just how much they’re valued by the communities they serve.
