On the afternoon of Halloween, after school, and before trick-or-treat time began, the Broadwater Public Library held a children’s reading session and costume judging contest at the library for Halloween. The library is normally closed on Thursday, but was open this week for this program

In keeping with the appearance of the librarian in the book, having purple-dyed hair, Library Director Beth read Miss Smith and the Haunted Library by Michael Garland. Miss Smith is a teacher, and her students know to expect the unexpected when the librarian Virginia Creeper reads from The Incredible Storybook. Scary characters from the book come to life as she reads. and they hold a party with the kids! They don’t seem so scary when they’re having a good time! At the end, one of the children has to get the characters back into the book before the senior’s book club comes in.

Cider was served to all who wanted any, trick-or-treat bags, partly pre-filled with toys donated by the Livingston family, the Leisy family, and the Starr Street Diner were given to all  youngsters.

Seventeen children and twelve adults came for the session. Costumes were judged, and winners were Haley L., Alyssa M. and Dawson W. Prizes were awarded, and all of the kids went away with something.

The Library is Getting Spooky

4:30 in the afternoon on October 31, there will be a story-time featuring Miss Smith and the Haunted Library by Michael Garland. Spooky characters come out of that book, and the teacher and one of her young boy students struggle to get them back into the book before the grown-ups coming to their weekly book club see them.

Come in costume, for costumes to be judged by adults in the Village. Prizes will be awarded to the kids with the best costumes. Trick-or-treat bags with something in them will be given to all kids and youth.

The library is not what it used to be even a week ago. Quite frankly, it gives me the creeps. Many ghosts are hanging around inside the library. There are even tombstones in there, and ghastly hands and skulls. Witches are in the windows. Some have come into the library, and we have cauldrons everywhere. We’ve got spiders there, spinning their green, orange, and purple webs. A few monsters have taken up residence in the library. As would be expected this season, pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and scarecrows can be found in the library as well. I fear that soon I will become one of the spooks by Halloween!

Thanks to donations of decorations from the Livingston family and the Starr Diner, we have the library set up to celebrate Halloween, and to help make this program a success.

Mark your calendars and plan to stop by before you or your children go trick-or-treating.

Come in costume for a reading of the book, Miss Smith and the Haunted Library by Michael Garland, a story of spooky characters coming out of a storybook as a librarian reads it to a class visiting a library on a field trip – and their teacher and a pupil trying to get Dracula and the Headless Horseman among others back into the storybook. Costumes will be judged and prizes will be awarded.

Numerous new titles have been donated to the library as well.

The Library has received a copy of The Weight of Small Things by Sherri
Wood Emmons, because of it being won in a Goodreads/Reading Group Choices
random drawing.

Summer is nearly over, even though the hot weather continues. School is
back in session. The kids reading program is finished for 2013.

It’s not too early to get a head start on the fall adult book group
selection, which is the “One Book, One Nebraska” adult selection for 2013,
O Pioneers! by Willa Cather. When we have a date set for this, additional
copies will be borrowed from the Nebraska Library Commission. The
Broadwater Public Library has one copy of it in its collection, along with
many other titles by this prolific Nebraska author. It was originally
published in 1913, and is the first of her Prairie Trilogy, including Song
of the Lark and My Antonia – which are in the Broadwater Public Library as
well.

Other information is available through your library as well. If you need
help or recipes for canning or preserving food, or recipes for making
jellies or jams, it is available in print and online. For instance, the
USDA has published USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning, which is free for
download at http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html

Our telephone number is 489-0199. We are located in the new Village Hall
building at 251 N. Starr Street. Please visit us online at
http://libraries.ne.gov/broadwater/ . We are open Tuesday, noon-1pm and
3-7pm, Friday 3-5 pm, and Saturday 2-5 pm.
