Have you ever wondered what a séance was like in the 1800s? During this presentation, we will learn about Victorian mediums and the technology used in that era.
 
(Ages 12-8) Get your fright on while we watch a scary movie and enjoy some monster munchies.
Spend an evening learning about Victorian mourning customs, séances and their obsession with talking to the other side. Flitter Mouse Traveling Victorian Museum will present original artifacts that make you feel like you have taken a step back in time.

What do Alfred Hitchcock, Godzilla, Italy and serial killers in Britain have in common? They are all film events at the library! Learn about Alfred Hitchcock as the Master of Suspense during a six-week free class or enjoy a double feature of Godzilla and King Kong for some old school monster mash. Not a fan of either? We also have the Italian Film series. If you would rather stay in, you can enjoy murder most foul through BBC mysteries from home using our streaming film service Kanopy.

Godzilla/King Kong Double Feature - 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Mustang Library
