The cast and crew of Haunted Library invite you back for more spooky stories and activities on Saturday, October 25, from 6 to 9 pm, after the library is closed for regular business. 

All this creepiness will happen at New Hanover County’s Main Library, 201 Chestnut Street, in downtown Wilmington.

Come in costume, if you like, and expect a crowd!

1st floor: mildly creepy

Small children can enjoy opening Monster Mystery Doors, Mummy Wrapping, digging in the Fossilized Bone Pit, taking a Trick or Treat Story Walk, and getting their faces painted by Fairytales and Dreams by the Sea. 

Memory Lane Comics will give each kid a free comic book. Don't forget to have your pictures taken at the photo booth!

2nd floor: more intense

Older children and adults can hear scary stories performed by the Dance Element, Zach Hanner, Joceyln Beam–Walson, Mr. Max, Samantha Hunt, Joe Sheppard, and Mr. Scooter!

Performances will be continuous throughout the evening.

3rd floor: truly terrifying 

The Library Labyrinth, a gut-wrenchingly ghastly haunted house, is not recommended for children under 12.

You be the judge of how much terror you and your kids can take, because once you're inside the Library Labyrinth there is NO turning back!  

Haunted Library is just one of many programs NHC Library offers to encourage kids and families to enjoy reading and stories together.  Storytelling is a key activity for developing literacy skills in young children, and having fun together creates opportunities for learning.
