The season of ghosts, goblins and strange happenings visits Fall River Public Library when it hosts “Haunted Library!,” on Thursday, Oct. 16, from 6 to 7 p.m. in the library’s children’s room. Families will be invited to take a flashlight walk through the children’s room and experience it like never before, with surprises around every corner.

The Children’s Room will close to the public at 4 p.m. and will reopen at 6 p.m. completely transformed. Upon entering the room, each child will receive their own mini-flashlight to guide them through the dimly lit corridors of the haunted children’s room, where a host of other-worldly characters await, including spooky scarecrows, giant spiders and creatures from outer space. Visiting the pirate’s den, children will be welcome to a hand-full of gold coins and jewels from the pirate’s chest.

Upon completion of their haunted trip, children will be invited into the library’s meeting room to make a Halloween craft, receive a spooky temporary tattoo and participate in Halloween themed games. Families can also register to win a Halloween basket filled with books and other creepy goodies.

The haunted walkthrough is recommended for children ages 5 and up. Children who wish to bypass the walkthrough and just partake in the crafts and other activities are welcome to do so.

For further information contact the Children’s Room at 508-324-2700, ext. 4, or visit the library’s website at fallriverlibrary.org.
