Halloween Party, 2015

Our annual Youth Service Halloween party is a highly-anticipated event. And because of that, us youth service librarians spend a lot of time thinking about it, and preparing for it. 

To give you an idea, here is a picture of me, pre-party:

The excitement was real. 

In kicking off the party, we had some games, crafts, and some excellent volunteers to help us out:

Next we had another Halloween party favorite. Wrap-A-Librarian.

Here Miss Theresa is showing strategic methods in mummy making:

And so, the wrapping commenced: 

What is that....? Our mummy is coming alive?

Balloons were released, and then there was trick-or-treating around the library. 

Special thanks to our volunteers who made this event possible, and master of events, Miss Theresa. Also, special thanks to Librarian Melissa, who took on the highly claustrophobic task of being our resident mummy librarian. Your bravery made for some fun times. 

This is a photograph of me, at the end of the party:

To Good Times, 

Librarian MD.
