Public Library will be a very busy and cozy time. The 36th annual
Quilt Show is going on so come down and vote for your favorite by the 23rd.
Winners will be announced on the 24th and the quilts come down on
the 30th. Also this month we will be hosting Hitchcocktober during free movie nights.
We will show 2 classic Alfred Hitchcock movies on the 12th and the
26th of this month. The doors open at 6:15 pm; movies start at 6:30
pm. We also have the Adult Color Club meeting on the 17th from 4- 5:30

DPL this month.
As the end of the

The released tasks
for this month are:
Read any book set
in a Ghost Town or Haunted House. Jim Phillips will be in the library on
the 30th telling antebellum ghost stories, so get in the mood ahead
of time by reading a book set in a ghost town or haunted house.
The second task is
to read any book about or set at the
1893 Chicago World’s Fair. The fair was held to celebrate the 400th
anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s arrival in the new world and was open
from May 1, 1893 to October 30, 1893. It was a massive event that covered over
600 acres and had a lasting impact on Chicago and the rest of the country. To
see what it looked like follow this link from author Deeanne
Gist’s website.
Happy Reading!
