Why do we carve pumpkins at Halloween, dress up in costumes, or decorate our homes with skeletons and ghosts?
This colorful new program traces the strange history of Halloween, from Old World harvest festivals to our modern family holiday. Along the way, I'll discuss the origins of the Jack-o'lantern, Orson Welles' 1938 "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast, the first monster movies, famous costume makers, and much more. The hour-long slideshow is illustrated with original photographs and antique Halloween cards, advertisements, artwork, and movie posters.

Swing by the library for a mixed bag of treats! In response to the increased risk in our community, the library offers this safe alternative for youth not to miss out on Halloween! Library staff will hand out a bag of candy for each child in the car. Between noon and 3 pm, pull up and 'pop' your trunk or open a window if you are comfortable, but please remain in your car. Costumes are optional, but masks are required. A big thank you to Friends of the Putnam Valley Library for the candy donation.
