Fun Halloween Ghostbusting night headlines activities at Fall River Library

Here’s what’s happening at the Fall River Public Library for the week beginning October 21st. There will be lots of spooky goodness, including Ghostbusters Night on October 24th!

The Ghostbusters will be in full uniform including Proton Packs—to take care of the library’s ghostly problem and to pose for pictures and meet with fans. Visitors may also run into the Frankenstein monster lurching about the library, can have their fortunes told by the haunted fortune-telling machine, and can pick up some ectoplasmic slime while supplies last. Horrible highlights of the evening include Halloween face painting, a spooky ornament craft, and a ghostly scavenger hunt. Try your own ghost-busting skills by locating six spooky, supernatural spectres hidden throughout the library! Children successfully finding all 6 will be eligible to win a Halloween Basket of books and other goodies.

Also, just a reminder that the Halloween Guessing Game is going on all month. Visit the children’s room at the Main Library, guess how many candy corns are in the skull jar, and you could win a Halloween prize package! You can enter any time you visit the children’s room. Winner announced on October 30th.
