Do You Like to Scary Stories?

It was a dark and stormy night and the wind howled through the dark and empty rooms of the house...

Do you like to share scary stories with your friends? Scary stories are great at any time of the year, not just around Halloween. Telling a scary story is a skill that requires the teller to captivate his/her audience. Here is a short video that gives you a few tips on how to tell a scary story.



If you have a scary story that you want to share, let Ms. Friesen know. Scary stories will be put on the library blog. See Ms. Friesen for more information.

Movie Night in the Library

We are having our first movie night in the Library on Wednesday, October 7th from 3:30 to 5:30. We will be showing the movie "Coraline," based on the book by author Neil Gaiman. Check out the trailer below:




Coraline was written by British author Neil Gaiman in 2002. It is considered to be a fantasy/horror novel. The story begins with Coraline and her parents moving into an old house. As she explores her new home, she discovers a locked door. She takes the key and opens the door only to find herself entering another world that is almost identical to her own. However, in this world there are dark and mysterious characters and strange things happening.



Join us for a reading from the book and the movie. Be sure to sign up in the binder on the "Pop in a Book" table. Space is limited!
