Partick’s Dumbarton Road library makes a useful starting point for a family outing: read together, join songs and stories for under-fives, or choose a creative session for older children. Nearby church programmes offer a different kind of local gathering, from Thursday toddler time to Sunday children’s activities. Plan around the particular group rather than treating every community building as a drop-in play space. For Halloween 2026, the library has a full sequence of separately timed activities, including an author reading and mask making.
Read together at Partick Library, join songs and stories for under-fives, or try creative sessions for older children. Local church groups offer toddler mornings and Sunday activities. Check the actual group time and joining arrangements before travelling.

Bookbug at Partick Library is a free, relaxed session of songs, stories and rhymes for babies, toddlers and children under five with their parents or carers. Use an expressly advertised session when choosing a particular date, or ask the library on 0141 276 1560.
Partick Library’s Halloween day includes crafts from 12. Come for this craft slot rather than assuming the library’s other activities run continuously.
Special guest author Alison Murray presents her new book Cat’s Halloween at Partick Library on Saturday 31 October 2026, with a reading and mask making from 2–3pm. The broader celebration has separate Bookbug, craft and party-game slots; the author’s advertised time is 2–3pm.
The party-game hour is separate from the earlier Bookbug, craft and Alison Murray reading slots, so choose the activity and start time that suit your family.
