Have you heard of All Hallow’s Read?

All Hallow’s Read was a movement started about 10 years ago to give trick-or-treaters books along side of (or instead of) the more usual candy. We’ve had customers come in over the years to stock up on kids books before Halloween, so they can give out books with candy.

If this intrigues you, why not buy some books from our bookstore? All the books are $1, so you can get books that your trick-or-treaters will enjoy for a small investment on your part. (Not to mention, if you’re a friends member, you get an additional 10% off your purchase. Great if you’re stocking up!)

The Friends of the Library Bookstore is open during library hours. We hope to see you there!
