Spooky Season Programs

October is quickly approaching, and as the cooler weather sets in, we find ourselves getting in the spooky spirit. We’ve planned a month full of crafts, movies, history programs, and more. So whether you enjoy a good scare, or a just a small chill, the library has programs scheduled for every level of spooky!  

 KIDS

• Spooky Storyline
  • New stories released every week during October
  • Our Spooky Storyline returns! Throughout October, in addition to our regular Storyline, listeners can also enjoy a little fright. Younger listeners can enjoy not-too-spooky tales while those seeking a bigger chill can tune in to spookier stories. Dial 804-501-1946 to join the fun!
