View Instagram post by mooneevalleylibraries🦇🎃 What a frightfully fun time we had as library staff brought Halloween magic to our five storytime sessions last week. 💫📚
We shared spooky stories, sang silly songs, and were thrilled by some creepily creative costumes. It was wonderful to see so many children and families enjoying the fun together, thank you for making our Halloween storytimes such a treat! 🍭👻🧡Open post by mooneevalleylibraries with ID 18103629056545707Nov 5

Happy Halloween. 🎃👻🏰
