In this workshop, Lyn will lead you on a journey to discover tales, folklore, and ideas from Appalachia's haunted hills and valleys and Ohio's spooky cities and cemeteries. Gather tips, resources, and reflections to use as prompts for your own short stories and verse, developed in the dark shadows of your imagination. This workshop is a shortened version of Lyn Ford's successful series for the John C. Campbell Folk School.
The Annual Halloween Costume Drive is here! If you have clean, gently used, or new costumes that no longer fit you or your children, please bring them to the Library for others to use! Donations will be accepted at the Information Desk.
