A Tale Inspired By Halloween

With Halloween just around the corner, students gathered in the Middle School Reading Nook at break time to hear Ms. Mermelstein tell a story. They were treated to a creepy story about a woman, a dog and a murderer followed by an improvised version of The Little Witch and the Jack O' Lantern House, a cutting and folding story which follows a little witch on a romp through the woods. When it starts to rain, she quickly realizes that she needs a house but not just any old house. After some clever cutting and folding, the result: a pumpkin dwelling, custom made, especially for her!

Thrills & Chills: Happy Halloween!

October is here, and you know what that means: Halloween!

If you've walked by the library bulletin board recently, you may have noticed students pointing at the three-headed dog or the Dachshund dressed as a hot dog. Unfortunately, we don't have any actual dogs in our library, but we have plenty of creepy, funny, and mysterious books you might want to read for Halloween!

Check out the display just inside the library doors, the books on display in the Middle School nook, and the Halloween resource list on Destiny, complete with all these titles and more.


Middle Schoolers: Stay tuned for a Halloween-themed morning break on Wednesday, October 27!
