Program Description

Event Details

Pick up a lantern, seek a spot of refuge, and brace for a spooky video projected onto a wall. Lights will be dimmed and a chapter will be read aloud from a scary novel. Then, kick back, relax--if you dare, and read a book of your choice. 

Kids age 8-12 attend on their own. Limited to 20 participants.
