Halloween Programs @ The Library

This week the library is offering events for Trick or Treaters of all ages...

Halloween Storytime for children ages 3-5.

11 to 11:45am. Call to register at 715-723-1146.

Stories, crafts, snack and more. Costumes are optional.

October 27th

Sub-Par Cinema. Ages 14 and up.

7pm to movie end.

Come and see the movie many have called "The Worst Film Ever Made." Plan 9 From Outer Space is a testament to the tenacity of the American spirit; you'll be hilariously inspired by director Ed Wood's refusal to admit that his cinematic train was derailing!

You know a movie is bad when even the PUBLICITY SHOTS are terrible:

Teen Read Week: Turn Over a New Leaf

The Chippewa Falls Public Library will be offering youth between the ages of 7-18 an opportunity to “turn over a new leaf” at the library this fall. This program is a reading incentive to help clear up unpaid fines on library cards. It will cover current library card fines in exchange for time spent reading at the library, allowing young people to re-establish “good credit” on their library accounts.

Turn Over a New Leaf will be held on Tuesdays from 4 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 4:30. The incentive starts on October 17 as a kickoff for Teen Read Week and ends on Monday, October 31. During these times participants will earn $0.50 for every 15 minutes of reading that they completed during the designated times. This program applies to overdue fines for returned Chippewa Falls items only, and does not apply to materials from other libraries, lost or damaged items, processing fees, or fines for materials that have not yet been returned.

The library desires all students to have access to the resources that they will need to complete their school assignments and succeed during the new school year, as well as develop their love of reading for pleasure. It is our hope that young people will take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to turn over a new leaf this fall.

For information, stop at the Information Services Desk on your next visit to the library, call 715-723-1146 ore-mail the library. For information about other library program and events, check the library’s events calendar at our website.
