Peter brought something a little different, 4 October reads from his personal library, and Meagan had to pick which one he'd read next! None are available through HPLD directly, but they are requestable through Prospector and Interlibrary loan:

Someone asked if we have any spooky events coming up!
Of course we do! Like, too many to realistically talk about, they just have to be crammed into a montage that's more vibes than info. Plus a kitty.
Check out all our Halloween fun: www.mylibrary.us/events

We made a suggestion to our friends at Bandai. Because what's simultaneously cuter AND more stressful than keeping a library humming along?
Thanks to all our great staff who keep up with everything every day!

Observe: THE MOON!
That's the headline, although we changed the punctuation and capitalization because it's THE Moon! It deserves observation, exclamation points, and maybe even a couple presses of the ol' SHIFT key.
Sat. Oct. 4, 7 PM, UNC Campus.

Thanks to Frontier Academy for the invite to Family Literacy Night!
Turns out it's also the kickoff for a Scholastic Book Fair, which can turn a normally-thrifty library staff member into a spending machine set to start making "Book Haul" videos just to hopefully offset the cost!

It's almost October, but this is not a Halloween skeleton, it's a MEDICAL skeleton, here to remind you Doctoberfest is coming up in two weeks, Sunday, Oct. 12 at Carbon Valley Regional Library. Learn all about careers in medicine from people in the field!

I've occasionally been accused of airing the
library's dirty laundry on social media. And I don't care
anymore. This has got to stop.

The film is a true work of Mindcraft. Uh-oh, that one went too far, they're knocking my door down! STEVE! CREEPERS! Hey, let go of me! I'm just typing here, I, hey— highplains.libcal.com/event/14923681

Monday, September 22nd, 3 pm at Farr: We've got a movie that reminds us all that the children, they yearn for the Mines. They won't have to play CHICKEN or JOCKEY for a spot at this screening, we've got space.

We have movie events in September, and our licensing doesn't allow us to actually tell you the titles on social media, and we can't use the poster art, either! But that's okay, we're turning it into a guessing game. An easy one.

As far as great Colorado seats go, I suppose some of those chairlifts are in the conversation along with our Board of Trustees seat representing Region 6!

Apply today! Or in a couple days! Just make sure to do it before September 26 at 5, which is when the applications close!

We've got open spots at some of our Twinkle Babies storytimes! This is like jumping on StubHub for last minute Lady Gaga tickets for like $80
bucks. Except even better because it's not
$80 bucks, and it's DEFINITELY not $80 bucks plus fees. It's free! www.mylibrary.us/twinkle
