Trick or Treat - Halloween At The Library 

As the scary day moves closer we put a plea on some of our 
favorite listservs* asking for libraries to tell us about their 
special Halloween Web pages. It would be seasonally chilling if 
no one had responded, but we report, with a sigh of relief, that 
libraries do indeed answer when we ring their cyber-doorbell. 
Here are some or our favorite "treats" — no "tricks" allowed: 

Note: The following list is also available online at:

•Anne Prestamo forwarded to me your message asking for Halloween 
Library Web pages. I have one for my department. The URL is
http://www.library.okstate.edu/dept/hss 

Cheers! Dan Chaney

•....I'm a YA librarian at the Ogden Library in Spencerport NY 
and the YA group I advise has done a big Halloween party for the 
past three years. You can see photos from 1996 and 1997
http://www.ogdenny.com/Library/Teen/hallow.htm 

This year, our party is Saturday 10/24 and we're doing a haunted
house along with storytelling. Last year, we had around 450 kids 
and parents at the library between 2 and 3:30; the year before 
we had around 350.

We're one of the only free Halloween programs in the area (which 
includes Rochester, NY). The ideas all come from the kids in the 
YA group, and they also do a good part of the work involved. 
All in all, it's always a blast!
