Program Description

Event Details

We want to get a jump on the spooky season! Join us for a one-of-a-kind, two-part event! If you can't make it to both programs, it's okay to just come to one!

Part One! Come to the Books & Bones Bash at Central for a spooky craft, spooky snack, and pick up a library copy of "On the Day I Died" by Candace Fleming, a book full of teenage ghost stories set in a cemetery outside Chicago. Take the book home and read it, in the dark with a flashlight, if you dare!

Part Two! Meet us at the Woodland Cemetery on the morning of Saturday, October 12, for a tour starting at 11:00 a.m. with Archie Cook, local historian and Woodland Cemetery expert!
