The Dorris Van Doren Library is fully locked in for fall! We have a number of programs, both cozy and spooky, to celebrate the change of season.

On Friday, October 9th, the library will be open after hours for our first Library by Candlelight event. The program will begin at 6 PM. Everyone will be able to browse the collection by the light of a battery-operated candle (while supplies last) and check out books until 8 PM. This program is for all ages. 

For adults (18+), we have a Conchas and Cucuys program also on Friday, October 9th. We will be providing a ghost craft along with a snack of pan dulce. 

The Movie and Craft Club (ages 16+) has two meetings this month; the first is on Saturday, October 10 at 1 PM. Participants will be making a Halloween stained glass hanger. On Saturday, October 17, the club will meet at 1 PM to create bag charms. 

October is TeenTober at libraries across the country! This is a month to promote library services to our patrons between the ages of 12-18. Every Thursday at 4:30 PM at our usual Teen Hangout program, we are encouraging our teens to participate in Spirit Days:

October 1: Silly Socks Day

October 8: Throwback Thursday: dress like a past decade.

October 15: Fun Hair Day

October 22: Dress as your favorite character.

October 29: Wear a Halloween costume

It's bound to be a lot of fun! Come join us at the library this October!
