Children’s Storytime at the Syracuse Public Library starts back up at 10:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 1, and continues Mondays and Tuesdays for stories, songs, play and fun. Please call the children’s department with any questions.

Young Adult New Book Club
The Young Adult Book Club will be meeting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 16, to discuss the new young adult books. Please call the library with any questions.

Halloween Program
On Halloween night the books come to life! All ages are welcome to come to the Syracuse Library’s Halloween program “A Night at the Library” from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Oct. 31.

Scenes from favorite family classics come to life right here in the SPL. Meet Peter Rabbit in the Briar Patch and say hello to Winnie the Pooh (and Tigger too!) in the enchanted garden.

Then, watch as Peter Pan and Captain Hook face off on the Jolly Roger, but who will prevail?

Next, Robin Hood must rescue Maid Marian from the castle, but he’ll have to get past the Sheriff of Nottingham first!

Harry Potter and the Hogwarts crew will have plenty of wizard games and snacks, and Willy Wonka will be giving out candy to the trick-or-treaters.

The whole tour should take about 10 minutes, so families have plenty of time to make the SPL a stop on their trick-or-treating route. This program is free and for all ages.
