Event Details

Hi there, islander! We're challenging you to create your own library in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Winners will receive a prize, and we'll highlight our favorite submissions in a YouTube video.

Please email your island's Dream Address to egossell@wauclib.org. Winners will be announced the week of September 30th!

(No pickup or in-person submission is required, but feel free to register for the program to keep up to date on reminders and deadlines.)

Notes on submissions:

  1. Be as imaginative as you'd like! Design your library inside your house or around your island, make a majestic Victorian library or a recreation of WAPL -- whatever you feel inspired to create.
  2. Please make sure to respect Nintendo Online's rules for safe play. Only entries with family-friendly language and themes will be eligible for winning a prize or having their island shared.
  3. Due to the nature of Animal Crossing, you must have your own Nintendo Switch and your own copy of New Horizons to participate.
  4. If you're not sure how to get your Dream Address, here is quick guide from Nintendo of America: https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/50095/~/how-to-upload-your-island-to-the-dream-library-%28animal-crossing%3A-new-horizons%29
