The Library After Dark

For the first time ever, we are opening up the library late enough for you to meet the ghosts that roam our shelves. You might want to be quiet though, they don’t like the noise.

Admission in advance is $1
Admission at the door is $2

Not recommended for children under 12

Expect loud audio and visual effects that will include strobe lights and/or fog, creating low visibility. Patrons should not participate if they are pregnant, have any physical limitations, are prone to seizures, or have heart or respiratory problems. All patrons who enter the library do so at their own risk.

The following rules ares for the safety of the library staff, volunteers, and patrons, and will be strictly enforced. Anyone caught in violation of these rules will be escorted out of the library:
– No Running or Pushing
– No Strollers
– No Photos or Videos
– No Touching Actors or Props. THE ACTORS WILL NOT TOUCH YOU.
