Halloween at Stratford Library was a Success!

Submitted by Jennifer C. on Mon, 11/05/2012 - 5:55pm

Halloween at the library this year was a success! Thank you to all who helped and/or donated of your time and resources. With 60+ children coming through, we had a full house and saw lots of great costumes. Almost the full cast of Mario was present, along with Fancy Nancy, some superheroes, a couple of ninjas and much more. For more photos, please click here.  If you would like to help out with future programs at the library, please stop by and fill out a volunteer application.

Spooky Halloween

jack o' lanternsIt’s the end of October. The time of year when, theoretically, we dust off our jackets, watch TV while curled under a blanket on the couch, eat soup every night, and plan the outdoor excursions we didn’t want to take at the height of summer. The end of October also brings with it the first of the fall holidays: Halloween. Although Halloween isn’t one of my favorite holidays, I do love certain aspects of it. Candy is highest on that list, but I also adore Halloween themed movies, particularly those appropriate for the whole family. This year alone, three new movies in the spirit of Halloween (Paranorman, Hotel Transylvania and Frankenweenie) were released in theaters, proving that the market for family friendly Halloween movies is growing.

If you’re in the mood for a family friendly Halloween movie this fall, browse the HCPL catalog and check out a DVD today!
