Collection Highlights for October 2014

We're highlighting four collections in the month of October, come in and check them out!

Children's Halloween Books & Movies

Our children's Halloween books, movies, and music are available in three tiers of terror! For all the little ghostlings who haven't quite stopped being afraid of the dark, we have materials that are Not Even a Little Scary. For the young ghoul who's gotten rid of their nightlight, we have an offering of items which are Kind of Creepy. And for the little howling horrors who want to scare themselves silly, we have Truly Terrifying books and movies that will send them scrambling to find their nightlights again.
