Epping Library News
The Harvey Mitchell Memorial Library hosts the first ever PJ Movie Night on Friday, Oct. 10th. The festivities begin at 6:30 with the world premiere of “Pirates at Reef’s End: Curse of the Kraken” a short film by Epping 4th grader, Tyler Wilkins and his friends. After a meet and greet with the cast and a break for snacks, the feature film will begin. Though the library’s movie license prohibits mentioning the film title by name, think of a stop-action animation film by Tim Burton about a Halloween mix-up that was recently re-released on DVD. The film is rated PG for scary images. Kids and parents are encouraged to wear their comfiest PJs and bring a snack to share. Extra pillows or camp chairs might make viewers more comfortable.
There is still time to pick up a copy of the latest selections for either the Eclectic Book Group, which is reading The Red Tent by Anita Diamant, or the Mystery Book Group, which is working on Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie. Both groups meet next week, The Eclectic Group on Tuesday, Oct. 14th at 7:00 pm, and the Mystery Group on Wednesday, Oct. 15th also at 7:00 pm.
Please note that for the next few months, the library’s Board of Trustees will be meeting on the third Thursday of the month which falls on Oct. 16th this month at 7:00 pm. With approval from the Selectmen they will soon gain the 2 members needed to fill out the board properly. Once all 5 are in place the search for a full time director of the library will resume. The staff and board wish to thank everyone for their patience during this transitional phase.
Filling in the calendar for the “Halloween Season”? Don’t forget the ever-popular Halloween Party on Friday, Oct. 24th. Now in its fifth year, the library Halloween Party provides a fun, community based event for kids ages 2-8 to get more use out of their favorite costumes. With traditional games like donuts on a string and bobbing for apples, plus crafts, snacks and stories, young children and their families make this a fun celebration of the season. Older children are always welcome to volunteer as helpers. Simply call Miss Tracie at the library to make arrangements. The Halloween Party begins at 5:00 and runs until 7:00. Due to the tender age of many of the party goers, masks will not be allowed
October’s Toy Play Day on Sat., Oct. 25th will have a Pirate theme. Kids are invited to bring their own pirate toys to play with and share, and since it is costume season, why not come dressed as a pirate too?
These events are free and open to the public. For more information on these or other library programs, call us at (603) 679-5944.
