Fall Fun at the Jamestown Community Library

It’s October! Get ready for Halloween and win a prize in our annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest all month long.

Pumpkin Decorating Contest

Pumpkins can be dropped off 10/6-10/23 with prize voting 10/24-10/31.

Qualified entries are Painted and Decorated pumpkins only (no carved pumpkins please).

On Halloween – Friday October 31st – be sure and stop in at the library from 430-6PM before Trick-or-Treat…and we’ll have fun crafts and activities for families to enjoy

Have you been following our facebook page?  Librarian Mary has been digging into our local history and remembering Greeneview standouts from the not so distant past and historical incidents from the wayback machine.  She’s also taking a page from Woodland Cemetery, by offering a tour of our own Old Silvercreek Cemetery where you can delve into some little known History, Mystery, and Mayhem on October 28 and 30th

Our November features a Wicked Party on Saturday November 15th for the release of Wicked 2  and Turkey Bingo on the 25th with prizes for the winners.
