Students can even enter for a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card! Raffle tickets will be located at the circulation desk. Just let us know where you saw Harold and what library resource he was using! (Multiple entries are allowed, but only one entry per library resource.)

Also feel free to stop by and browse our spooky season book display. We've featured some of our most spine-tingling reads, including classics like Dracula and The Shining, as well as some newer books from our popular reading section, such as Freida McFadden's The Boyfriend and Riley Sager's The House Across the Lake.
