As the leaves fall around the quant city of Drighton, so too does any feeling of safety as members of the town guard begin to go missing. At first, while suspicious, this was not anything out of the ordinary. Though as the missing faces rack up, and as civilians and even a noblewoman join them, the city council has elected that matters must be put into capable hands. Will those capable hands be yours? Create a level five character using the 2024 rules and show up on October 21st from 4pm-7pm ready to sniff out a mystery! If you're not confident building a character on your own, we'll have several premade characters for you to choose from when you arrive! This program is for teens ages 13-18. Registration is required. Please register below.

Teachers of young children get asked about screen time constantly. It comes up at pickup, in the hallway, and in the middle of a conference about something else. The advice keeps shifting, and most of it measures screen time by the clock rather than by what's on the screen. What's a teacher with 90 seconds and a worried parent in front of her supposed to say? This edWebinar gives PreK through second-grade educators and the administrators who support them a clear direction for conversations with families about their child's technology use. Our presenters have had these conversations themselves, and they will be specific about what worked, what didn't, and what they would say differently now. Attendees will receive a free family-facing toolkit, Managing Screen Time, Together, plus a resource list and language you can use the same week. This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK through second-grade educators, librarians, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.

The cold wind from the north brings more than snowstorms for the people of Orska. Every year, every time a blizzard rages, an angry spirit arrives on the gale to take the life of one unlucky townsperson. The town speaker, a goliath by the name of Storog Sterk, has assured the townsfolk every year that he has the situation under control, and that's evidently not true. A letter was sent out by an anonymous citizen pleading for help to rid this spirit from their land. Ready to hunt for a ghost? Bring a level 3 character made with the 2024 rules on December 9th to play through this adventure from 4pm to 7pm! We'll have characters available for those who aren't ready to make their own character, or are just getting into the game! This program is for teens ages 13-18. Registration is required.

Augusta is Maine's small capital on the Kennebec, with the State House, the Maine State Museum and Old Fort Western, the oldest surviving wooden fort in New England, within a few blocks of each other. The Kennebec River Rail Trail runs south to Gardiner. Lithgow Public Library is a Romanesque landmark from 1896.
Halloween 2026 events for kids in Augusta: trunk-or-treats, storytimes and pumpkin patches, day by day.
12 children’s events are on in Augusta in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Lithgow Public Library (4 branches, 82 upcoming programmes), plus Maine State Library. Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
52 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.
Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.
Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.
Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Augusta’s own time zone.
Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.
Or add Augusta’s kids’ events to your calendar: subscribe once and new weeks appear on their own. (Google Calendar: paste that link’s address into “Other calendars → From URL”.) We keep your email and the city, nothing else; every note has a one-click stop.
