Kids in the Cliff

Kids love Halloween, and this weekend we’re all about costumes and creepy fun. These stories old and new are hand-picked for good ghouls and boos! Parent pointer: the first couple of stories are the least scary and great for our littlest listeners, although none are truly terrifying. If you are looking for an easygoing pre-Halloween outing, come join us for weekend storytime fun.

*Special note for parents: As usual, we’ll have related extra books on hand in case you are looking for other excellent picture books we recommend! Particular emphasis is placed on striking illustrations, great graphic design or standout writing. Titles may be brand new, old treasures, from home, our Kids’ Section or the library, but they are always picked with love and a sense of adventure. If there’s a book you’d love, consider our ordering service!

It’ll be about a 45 minute read with something fun for the kids–that’s going to be interesting, we can’t wait to see what they come up with.

All ages are welcome.

On Sunday mornings, bring your kids and infuse them with a love of reading.
