It's time for the Teen Dept.'s hauntingly cool annual Halloween Takeout Kit! Stop by Tuesday afternoon to grab a shadow box kit. Then post your creations and tag JPL! 👻🎃

*A note about teen kits: we are now asking that teens be present to collect their own kits. The starting time has been moved to allow students more time to get to the library after school. This is to ensure the kits are available to their designated age group. Thank you for your understanding.
