Event Details

The unrivaled master of the macabre, none other than Edgar Allan Poe himself, is conjured back from the shadows for a most extraordinary hour of enigma and dread. On this remarkable eve, let the mists of time part as the venerable actor, Mr. Campbell Harmon, weaves a tapestry in which Poe's very essence is entwined with his eerie tales and haunting history!

To celebrate this spooky event, the Friends of the Library are holding a library wide Halloween scavenger hunt from October 6th - November 7th.

Pick up your Scavenger Hunt Sheet at the Information Desk and write down the numbers under each picture! Return your completed sheet for a prize, and enter to win a grand prize!

Grand prize winners will be announced at our Edgar Allan Poe event on Saturday, November 8th at 2:00 p.m.
