Kieran’s notes from the back room :
“It was a dark and stormy night”… not to plagiarize either Edward Bulwer-Lytton or Snoopy (or the other nine or ten folks who have used that as an opening line..), but as a classic line, it does get one in the Halloween spirit, and a literary mindset. Speaking of literary, author and historian Sandy Dexter will be presenting “Lost Souls of Purgatory” on Saturday, October 31st at 2:30 pm. She will talk about the mysterious happenings that occurred in Southeastern Colorado. If that doesn’t frighten you enough, we have books; ‘The complete book of ghosts’ by Paul Roland, ‘Scary stories to tell in the dark’ by Alvin Schwartz, and many others! So, come by the library to get scared! (of course you can also stop by the back room and I’ll yell, ‘Boo!’ at you.) Now if ALL of that doesn’t scare you, how about talking about money. (Ha! That got you didn’t it?) Actually it is good news. The VHS and book sale at Farmer’s Market and Pioneer Days went well and we will continue with a “by donation” book/VHS shelf in the back (by the science fiction section.) So feel free to contribute a bit of cash as you hustle that armload of free books out to your car, heck, I will even help you carry them! See you in the back room (and wear your Halloween costume and see if I recognize you!)
