Halloween Fun for ALL Ages @ MCL Branches
It’s the one time of year people can get into the spirit, dress in costume, and pretend to be someone or something else for a day – no matter his or her age. The candy, the pumpkin carving, and the caramel apples are all memories from my childhood, and I attempt to keep them alive in my Halloween fun even as an adult. Mercer County Library System is getting in the spirit! Check out the Halloween-themed programs at the various branches; they’re not just for children:
West Windsor is hosting a Halloween Play Festival with three plays. Dollhouse Blues, Bloody Massie, and The Most Absolutely Amazing Halloween Party Ever, written by the branch’s Reference Librarian, Michael Kerr.
At Hickory Corner, Toma Jama Productions will perform, A Meeting of the Macabre, which brings to life the writings of Edgar Allen Poe and Bram Stoker.
Hightstown’s Teen Movie for October is the film adapted from Neil Gaiman’s book, Coraline (in 3-D!). Prepare to be scared by this fabulous film that is enjoyed by teenagers and adults alike!
And not to worry ….there are plenty of programs hosted at various branches for the younger crowd and even the whole family to enjoy:
Friends of the Ewing Library is sponsoring a Pumpkin Decorating in the Library for children ages 6-11. Pumpkins and decorations will be provided. Children, ages birth to 7 are invited to wear their costumes for a Halloween Parade at Ewing. Staff will provide wrapped treats along the parade route!
