Embracing the Magic City Classic Spirit

A Whole Week of Celebrations!

And the fun doesn’t stop there! Throughout the week, an array of Magic City Classic events will keep the spirit of celebration alive. But while you’re planning your attendance at the cocktails event, don’t forget to check out the library’s special outreach offerings for October, especially geared up for Halloween!

Halloween-Themed Activities Galore!

Expect an abundance of themed workshops and activities, including science presentations that promise “bubbling, oozing, gooey good fun,” and story times featuring “Not So Scary Tales.” For those crafty souls, new Adult Activity Packs are now available, filled with monthly activities and resources to keep your creativity flowing. And this month, those packs even include ghost-themed items!

Spooky Offerings for Adults

Plus, don’t miss out on the Tiny Book of the Month for October: “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” complete with available craft kits. Various library branches will also be hosting multiple crafting workshops geared towards Halloween fun. Talk about getting into the spooky spirit!

How fun does that sound?
