Annual Haunted Library returns

The Back Mountain Memorial Library’s highly anticipated Haunted Library will once again be ready for visitors…if you dare!

The dates of this annual fundraiser will be October 17, 18 and 19 and the following weekend on October 24, 25 and 26. The hours of the Haunted Library are from 6:30 to 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and from 5 to 9 p.m. on Sundays.

This year’s haunting is sure to include scary surprises lurking in every corner and a Halloween craft area will also be available for younger children. Price of admission is $6.

Paperbook Room to close temporarily

Our Slightly Read Bookshop will remain open during the month of October for its regular hours. However, the downstairs Paperback Room will be temporarily closed beginning on Monday, Oct. 6, and will re-open on Monday, Oct. 27, to make room for the Haunted Library.

Computer classes return

Back by popular demand, computer classes will once again be offered at the library. This time, however, the classes will be geared towards those adults who already have a basic knowledge of computers, keyboards and closing and saving documents.

These intermediate classes consist of three, two-hour sessions and will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22, Friday, Oct. 24, and Wednesday, Oct. 29. Participants must attend all three days to receive their certificate of completion. The classes are free of charge; however, the required workbook costs $15. This payment is due at the time of registration.

Jewelry making class set

A class in jewelry making will be held at the library from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Ms. Debbie Rodzinak will instruct the class on the art of using Austrian crystals to make beautiful jewelry. Participants may choose to make either a pair of earrings ($8) or a bracelet ($15). Payment is due at the time of pre-registration.

Vegetarian program slated

An Introduction to Vegetarian Eating program is scheduled for 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 16. This class is free and will include several samples of easy-to-make vegetarian recipes, as well as a discussion regarding the benefits of this healthy-eating lifestyle.

Pre-registration (by calling the library at 675-1182) is required for all of the above classes. Don’t wait until the last minute as class size is limited and spaces fill up quickly!

Storyhours to begin

A reminder for parents who have already registered: Storyhours will begin the week of October 12.
