Halloween 2022

Happy Halloween from Clark Memorial Library!

Visitors to the library this week, October 25th through October 29th, can stop by the curbside table to grab a special Halloween trick-or-treat goodie bag (while supplies last). They’ve got plenty of candy and Halloween-themed toys inside for you to enjoy! Don’t forget to visit the storywalk as well, to read about Pig the Pug’s Halloween antics.

Halloween Storywalk 2022

Our storywalk has been updated to reflect the changing of the seasons… each stand now contains an assortment of fall foliage and a section from Aaron Blabey’s Halloween picture book Pig the Monster. Stop by and read about Pig’s silly adventures, take in the fall colors that have started to appear from the sitting area, then come inside to get some more autumn reading materials!
