If you’re looking for ways to light up your Halloween celebration for the grandkids, teens or kids-at-heart, the library has everything you need but the costumes.
With Hoopla and your library card, thelibrary.org/digital, set the scene with music streamed from your digital device or computer. Go scary with “Halloween Stories and Songs,” or “The Conjuring;” or gentle with “Mickey’s Monster Bash” and “Heffalumps and Woozies Halloween Songs & Sounds.”
Scary movies, anyone? Hoopla has classics like “Children of the Corn” and Stephen King’s “A Good Marriage;” to Disney’s “Mr. Boogedy.”
