Fall River Public Library begins gearing up for Halloween with fall events to start October

October is here, and activity is gearing up for Halloween at the library, along with planning fall events for all ages. Here’s what’s happening the week of October 3 – October 8, 2022.

Starting Monday morning, October 3, kids can pick up a Scarecrow Take-Home Craft in the Children’s Room. The take-home crafts will be available all week while supplies last.

It’s a new season for Preschool Storytime!
