Join storyteller Sara Showman of The Largely Literary Theater Company for a Halloween show that's "Slightly Spooky!" Perfect for school-age children and their families.

Register online, in person, or by phone at 330.643.4760.

Through rhyme and story, Sara will share rattling skeletons, a little lost alien far from home, a witch who gets a good idea about improving her cooking, and a chant that will help protect you on Halloween night. Spooky but not too scary, this show is excellent for ghosts and goblins five years and older.


Here are some slightly spooky stories to read at home:

"The Teeny Tiny Woman" by Paul Galdone

"The Tailypo" by Jan Wahl

About the branch

Highland Square is one of Akron’s most iconic communities, hosting numerous street fairs and festivals, eclectic shopping and dining, and a vibrant night life. The extremely diverse neighborhood is home to seniors, young families, artists, educators, and students of all demographics. The Highland Square Branch Library is a reflection of this diverse neighborhood, with a standout LGBTQ collection and a rich programming schedule.

Reference assistance, computers and computer classes, WiFi, copiers, scanning, and faxing round out the services provided within the library. The full scope of community participation, however, is seen in local senior care facilities, local schools and preschools, and neighborhood festivals where Highland Square Branch Library staff plays an active role in creating experiences for participants of all ages. Visit us soon on the Square.
