MURDER MYSTERY AT THE LIBRARY – Saturday, October 28, 6:15 – 8 PM
The library meant to celebrate Halloween with a performance of “Jekyll & Hyde.” However, there was an incident during the dress rehearsal. Before the opening act, it's already curtains for the leading man. You've gotta give props to the culprit, though--even the police are stumped. That's why we need your help! Group up with your friends, work together as detectives, and search the library for clues. Solve the mystery, and upstage your competitors!
Silvis Public Library welcomes you to join us for our first ever Murder Mystery Night on Saturday, October 28. Doors open at 6:15. Light snacks and beverages will be provided. Prizes will be awarded! Space is limited, so REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Sign-ups are “first come, first serve”, but we will be keeping a waiting list as well. Please inform us if you have to cancel a reservation.
Last Monday Book Club - Monday, October 30, 6:30 PM
Join us for Ghost Story by Peter Straub where in the sleepy town of Milburn, New York, four old men gather to tell each other stories—some true, some made-up, all of them frightening. A simple pastime to divert themselves from their quiet lives. But one story is coming back to haunt them and their small town. A tale of something they did long ago. A wicked mistake. A horrifying accident. And they are about to learn that no one can bury the past forever... Light refreshments served.
