Gordy, we missed you! Our Reference Librarian of Mystical Arts and Literature is back from his year long vacation. Nobody knows more about the paranormal, witchcraft, ghouls, goblins, and winter squash than he does. Come say hi, ask him about his vacation, and see what he recommends reading during this year’s spooooooky season!

Hey! Guess what. We have new displays and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with you! Want to turn over a new leaf? We have books to help you do just that. Want to feel the adrenaline rush of watching a scary movie? We have some really spooooooky movie titles available. What about reading a tiny book while you work on your tiny art? Yep. We have a display for that, too!

We are also featuring a guest display to highlight the Oneida County History Center’s DRUMS at 90: Walter Edmonds Book Reading being held on Saturday, October 24 at 2:00 p.m. at the History Center.

Your October wouldn't be complete without checking out these displays!
