Usually by now, I’m knee-deep in Thrill the World practices, but sadly, we could not make it work with our schedule this year. In lieu of those events, Youth, Teen, and Adult Services have teamed up to offer an after-hours Haunted Library Scavenger Hunt for ages 10 and up. We’ve had a pretty explosive response from the public! Our registration and waiting lists are already full almost a month out from the program date!
We decided to have different haunted areas in different parts of the library, and I was tasked with turning our front reading room into a spooky forest. I’ve been working diligently on decorations this week, my favorite of which so far has to be my giant spider created out of a mishmash of closet supplies. I don’t have finished photos of him yet, but I will give you a little sneak peek at some of the things I’ve been working on.
Stay tuned for more detail after the event on October 19!
Spider body comprised of a large bouncy ball, gratuitous amounts of cotton floof, a spare papier mache planet left over from summer reading, a garbage bag, two big remnants of furry fabric, duct tape, and safety pins. 
His eyes are Easter egg bottoms. 
Fangs from fun foam. 
I have purple pool noodles for his legs as well, and I’m planning on suspending him from a second story railing with lots of cobwebs. 
I’m incredibly proud of my cardboard tombstones. I listened to “This is Halloween” on repeat while constructing these bad boys.
