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!

Join us for a (not-so) scary good time at the Annual Night at the Library event!
This event is fun for the whole family – enjoy children’s activities and a (mildly) haunted tour of the Library. This year, you will have a chance to help solve the mystery: did Marcus Marcus commit foul play in the Library? You never know what happens at the Library when the lights go out – come and find out for yourself!
Costumes are encouraged, and you are welcome to bring a friend. The Night at the Library will be held on Saturday, October 23 from 6-8:30 pm. You are encouraged to bring a donation for the food shelf as your admission fee.
Join the Friends of the Library on Saturday, October 2, from 8 am to noon for their Annual Costume Shop! You can shop for an inexpensive Halloween costume for you or your kids, and all money raised will be used to benefit your Library.
This year, we will also have movies for sale (VHS) and Christmas items and decor – be sure to stop in to get your holidays started!
We are also taking donations of new or gently-used costumes, accessories, masks and other items all year. Drop your donations off at the front desk of the Library during regular business hours.
The Night at the Library event was held on Saturday, October 24, 2009 – and what a great evening! Over 90 children came through the doors, along with their parents, and 2 dozen grocery bags of donations were delivered to the local Food Shelf!
Everyone had a blast; look for this event next year! Thanks to everyone who helped set-up, clean-up and plan this great event. Enjoy the photos, and pass the word that they are posted here for viewing….
Please join the Friends of the Library for their Third Annual Halloween Costume Shop on Saturday, October 3, from 8 am – noon. This event will be held in the upper level of the Hammond Library, and all proceeds will benefit library programs and resources. Shop for a costume, mask or accessory for a very reasonable price. We have both adult and children’s costumes available.
New this year is the addition of Children’t Holiday Attire – find your little ones a new Christmas outfit or Easter dress at low prices!
If you have costumes, accessories or children’s formal wear to donate to the sale, they can be brought to the library front desk during regular business hours. Pass the word – we hope to see you all there!
The Friends of the Library has decided to add a new twist to the very popular Costume Swap event in October! This year, besides offering gently used Halloween costumes and accessories at great prices, we would like to offer holiday dresses and outfits! You know the ones – the frilly Easter dress your daughter will only wear once. Or, the baptism outfit your son wore 2 years ago. Or the velvet Christmas dress that needs a new home. We will offer these gently used items at our Costume Swap for a great price. If you have any boys’ or girls’ Christmas, Easter, baptism, First Communion, wedding or other dressy outfits, please donate them to the Library for this event. You can bring them to the front desk at any time. Thanks in advance for your support! As always, the proceeds from this event will benefit the Hammond Library’s programs and resources.
