Fun at the Haunted Library!

Everyone had a fantastic time at this year’s Night at the Library event!  Kids took a tour through the haunted library, and had fun playing games and winning prizes at the carnival upstairs.

Thanks to everyone who helped to set-up, clean-up and run this event!  Several boxes of food were collected for the local Food Shelf, as well.  We’re already looking forward to next year’s Night at the Library….Happy Halloween!

Phantom of the Opera

Join us for a FREE showing of the 1925 silent film, Phantom of the Opera, starring Lon Chaney. 

Please dress warmly and bring a blanket; the film will be shown in the Upper Level of the Library, and it does get chilly at this time of year!

Refreshments will be available for a nominal charge, and donations will be accepted for the event.

Fall Tea a Great Success

Thanks to everyone who made this year’s Fall Tea fundraiser such a success!  We had a wonderful group of volunteers who helped to make the event a great one.  Thanks also to the local businesses and individuals who donated items to our silent auction.

Thanks also to everyone who attended the event, purchased silent auction items and made it a fun evening.  We hope to see you all again next year!
