Greetings Library Friends, October is the perfect time to visit the library and join in the fun! We’re kicking off the month with a special evening of music for adults and teens. Join us on Thursday, October 9 from 5–6 p.m. for a live performance by Celtic harpist Deirdre Sullivan. Her lively dance tunes and beautiful ballads from Ireland, Scotland, and beyond are sure to enchant.
Kids can get into the Halloween spirit with two monsterthemed activities on Saturday, October 18 from 10:30–11:30 a.m. At “Make a Monster,” we’ll supply the craft materials so children can dream up their own creations. Then, head to the Children’s Area for a Cryptid Scavenger Hunt—Bigfoot and friends have been spotted, and we need your help to find them! Finally, on Tuesday, October 28 at 4 p.m., gather for “Scary Stories,” a spooky readaloud of ghostly tales and mysterious adventures perfect for schoolage children.
