Recommended Spooky Reading

Is it too early to recommend some spooky reading?  Halloween is just around the corner.  Well, some corner, somewhere.  It might be forty blocks away, but the weather is fine, and the walking will do you good.

Take a peek at our early scary book displays at the library.  Minions, make with the digital snaps.

What's in that glass-topped table?

The book covers include the items' call numbers and shelving locations, so finding these should be easy.  Ask our staff to help.  They could use the exercise.

We have lots of other spooky reads available to checkout.  Our friendly staff will be happy to assist you.  Scowl-Face, too.  Well, probably.  You may always browse our book trailer playlists that feature horror/supernatural fiction or paranormal nonfiction.

Surely I Don't Look Like That

The Decorinator and BizMeister have just put-up our October decorations around the library.  'Tis the season to be Halloweeny, to be sure.  The decorations are wonderful, as always, but I have to take issue with a few of them.

Surely, I don't look like the felines in these photos!  (As always, click the pictures to bigify them.)

Cute, But Still Misses the Mark

We black kitties are NOT always arching our backs and hissing-and-spitting, I hope you know.  I understand the reputation black cats have, especially around this time of year--it's an unfair stereotype (just ask the ancient Egyptians)--but we need to fight against unfair stereotypes, right, librarians?  Or should I play this game, too?

Haunted Kiddy Crossthrough Is New!

It should be another fun month at the library.  We've got several Halloween-themed programs happening later in October, so visit our online events calendar to see dates and times.

Remember--if you see a black cat crossing your path, it means s/he is going somewhere.  Black cats always bring good luck to everyone who knows them.  Just ask all of my library colleagues and friends.
