Something Wicked This Way Comes...to the Library!

Something wicked is brewing at the library this month! Whether you're looking for a good scare, planning the perfect Halloween costume, or curious about things that go bump in the night, we've got plenty of tricks (and treats) to help you get in the spooky spirit. 

Make something wicked. Have a costume idea that's dying to come to life? From sewing and embroidery to 3D printing and more, the Makerspace has tools and equipment to help you create costumes, props, accessories, and Halloween decorations. We'll be sharing ideas throughout the month to help you bring your spooky visions to life. 

Read, watch, or listen to something scary. Ghost stories, horror movies, creepy classics, and even spine-chilling stories on vinyl are waiting to be discovered in our collections. Keep an eye out for our Halloween book and media display, featuring plenty of inspiration for your next fright night. 

Research something strange. Why are clowns so creepy? Where did vampire legends come from? Why do people love being scared? From supernatural folklore to the psychology of fear, the library's research collections can help you explore the strange, mysterious, and downright unsettling. 

And there's more lurking around the corner...

Throughout October, we'll be sharing spooky inspiration, creative ideas, and unexpected discoveries from around the library. Whether you're putting together a last-minute costume, searching for your next favorite horror story, or following your curiosity down a particularly strange rabbit hole, we've got you covered.

Follow us on social media all month long for scary-good inspiration, and discover what wicked things you can find (and make!) at the library.

Something wicked this way comes...and you won't want to miss it.
