We have started to get a little spooky in our time travel adventures in OWL Club! 🦉 📚 🕰️

Last week we found ourselves in a Temple in Ancient Egypt, learning how to make a Mummy! We discussed the passage of time and human advancement during that time as we added flat bread and honey to our fish and grapes. We then went through the ritual of making our Bear friend Qar into a Mummy. We removed his button organs, restuffed him with scented linen, and wrapped him with good luck charms and the map he would need for the journey into the Underworld. We made sure his sarcophagus had his correct Hyrogliphic Name and was accompanied by his canonic jars before we tucked him away in his tomb. It was a spooky fun time had by all! 🇪🇬 🕰️ 🧸🪡🕯️⚰️⚱️🧿

This past week we will be studying other time travelers with a movie day! We will be watching Ray Bradbury’s “The Halloween Tree,” all about the historical origins of Halloween! 🍿 🎥 🤩🌳 🎃

We are still very happy to have more kiddos join us on adventures, but we do ask for sign ups ahead of time- it is very easy to run out of snack! 📋 ✅ 📚

Last Friday, 10/23/26 the Friday Story Hour learned about MONSTERS! 👹

Ms. W read “Halloween Sky Ride,” a fun story about Halloween monsters traveling to a Witch’s Halloween Party, and all the crazy things they get up to on the way! We then sang “Five Little Pumpkins” a classic Halloween song. 🧙🏻‍♀️ 👻 🎃 ☠️ 🐈‍⬛ 🥳 🎶

We moved to activity time, where our young learners colored in classic Halloween Monsters, while we discussed all the different kinds of spooky things they might see while out Trick-or-treating on Halloween. Some learned about monsters they had never heard of before! 🖍️ 🧛‍♂️ ☠️ 🧟‍♂️ 🎃

The little ones learned lots about Halloween, and Halloween monsters, and about being brave for Trick-or-Treats. We hope to see them all here this Friday in costume for the real thing! 🍬 📚 🎃

We hope you join us on Fridays this school year for our Storytime at 12pm! 📚

(Next story hour will be a little late as we give time for preschool groups to come in early for their trick-or-treats)

For any young vistors looking for fun activities, we have lots of Halloween activities out to explore! Learn about monsters. Learn about Irish Traditions. Count ghosts and skeletons! Make ghosts for our maple tree! Take coloring pages home for later! 👹 🧛 🇮🇪 🎃 👻 ☠️ 👻 🍁 🖍️

Have you checked out your spooky stories for this weekend??

When the trick-or-treating is over, and everyone is still wide awake and hyped up on sugar, it’s time to pull out a good scary story!

We have the best options around, appropriate for ages 2-102!

We’re ready for Trick-or-Treats this Friday!
We will have the traditional candy, plus some special Library treats, so don’t forget to stop by! 🦉 🐉 📚

Are you ready for Halloween?

Even if you live off the main trick-or-treat route, there is trunk-or-treat at the park, and the Rangeley Lakes Rotary Club still needs volunteers to sit in empty houses on the rest of the route!

Let’s make this a great Halloween! 🎃 🍬 📚
