Bring the kids to Litchfield Library in the afternoon of Halloween to trick-or-treat!. Stop by the library between 1:00 and 5:00 in your costume to get candy or a small, fun item that isn’t candy!

Join Margaret for a spooky version of Mystery in the Infinite Beyond! Because there is a 5th Saturday this month, a second Teen Program will be held.

On October 31, come from 1:30 to 3:30 to play a combo tabletop and live action game, similar to Among Us or Mafia. If the weather is pleasant, the program will be held on the lawn next to the library. If needed, it will be held in the library.

For ages 11-18. Free! No need to sign up. Snacks will be served.

Minnesota author Frank F. Weber will speak at the Litchfield Library on Wednesday, October 21, at 6:30 p.m. Frank is a forensic psychologist and true crime-inspired novelist. He will walk attendees through profiling a case, and he’ll give a live demonstration of a lie detector test. You can volunteer!

Frank will be available before and after the event to sell and sign books.

This program will take the place of October’s Mystery Book Club meeting and will be hosted by the group.

Calling all crafters! Litchfield Library is having a craft supply swap beginning at noon on Friday, October 23, and continuing through Saturday, October 24, and Monday, October 26, during library hours in the library’s meeting room. This will be similar to our puzzle exchanges. Stop by any time during the event.

Do you have extra craft supplies cluttering your home? You can bring unused or gently used supplies, in good condition, for someone else to enjoy.

Want to try a new craft or get some free craft supplies before winter? Stop by and see if anything looks interesting and take what you will use. Bringing supplies is not required to take supplies.

Free and open to all ages!

All varieties of art and craft supplies and equipment that are in good condition will be accepted.

Not accepted: aerosols, hazardous materials, opened cans of paint, completed or partially completed projects, or worn out supplies. Library staff reserve the right to refuse any items.

Any remaining supplies will be locally donated or used for future library programming.

Swap events are a great opportunity to rehome items and reduce waste in our community. No items may be sold; everything must be given and taken freely.

You may bring your donations to the front desk beginning Tuesday, October 20 or anytime during the event.

UPDATE: Both sessions are filled. You can contact the library to be added to the waiting list.

Sign up for October’s Adult Arts & Crafts program and paint a wooden pumpkin! This month, two sessions will be offered: Thursdays, October 22 or 29, at 6:30 p.m. Call the library at 320-693-2483 or stop at the front desk to register. Space is limited.

Free! All supplies will be provided to paint and stencil a wooden pumpkin in your choice of color and design. Adults only.

Libby, our e-book service, is now requiring users to enter a PIN. This will be required for signing into Libby, and you will occasionally be prompted to verify your account. It is the same PIN you use for Pioneerland’s online catalog.

If you’re a Libby user but don’t sign into your library card account on the Pioneerland catalog, library staff will be happy to help you set one up.

Take a look at how the September project turned out for the Adult Arts & Crafts participants!
