Halloween is here. We have been busily decorating to look like the creepy library from the Hilarious House of Frightenstein. (You remember that show, right?).

The mice are loose, the bloody handprints are in evidence, and the public has been warned that the zombies are about. And the population of ghostly apparitions and mighty heroes will only increase tomorrow with the Monster Bash.

The Monster Bash, our massive Halloween party, is taking place on Thursday, Oct. from 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Admission is $10 per child or $25 per family (adults are free) for a night filled with magic and spookiness. Professional storyteller Renee Englot and magician Kyle Key will entertain us between stations of games, crafts, glitter tattoos, and a hot dog concession.

The library will be the place to be for all sorts of ghoulish fun.

October is coming to an end and with it Food for Fines month. You have until Friday for the staff to waive $2 worth of fines for every non-perishable food item you bring in. The food items will be donated to the Food Bank at the end of October. It is a win-win for everyone.

For those of you who live in the Botha area, the Stettler Public Library is bringing you Read & Rhyme Playtime at the Botha School Library on Thursdays at 11: 30 a.m. Enjoy time with your little person as you sing rhymes and songs, learn about letters and numbers, and so much more.

Nov. 1 brings a small change to the Stettler Public Library. The price of copying, faxing and scanning will be increasing to help cover the costs of our new copier system. Black and white printing/copying/ faxing will be increasing to $0.35 per page, colour printing/copying will now by $0.50 per page and we will now be charging a fee of $0.50 per job for scanning.

Copies of the books for our book clubs are available at the Stettler Public Library. Join us on Thursday, Nov. 6 at 7:30 p.m. when Reader’s Circle gathers to discuss “Daughter of Smoke and Bone” by Laini Taylor. Join the teens when they talk about the pros and cons of “Unraveling” by Elizabeth Norris on Thursday, November 7 at 5:30 pm.
