Zoinks!

October is here and that means I'm gearing up for the Scooby Doo Mystery Party, which is happening on Saturday, October 27 at 11 a.m. At the party, kids will follow clues to solve the mystery of who stole the Scooby Snacks, make Mystery Machines from shoeboxes, get a chance to win Scooby books, and have snacks. It's for ages 7+, and younger kids are also welcome but will need help from an adult. Sign up if you're interested!

I've been making up fun rhymes about different locations in the library for clues - which is harder than I thought it would be! I've also made a shopping list for supplies and typed up some directions for the Mystery Machine craft. The shoeboxes will really roll just like toy cars, which makes the whole thing a bit complicated, but I think the fun of racing them around will be worth it.

I'm also starting to think a little bit about Halloween. What's everyone going to be this year? I haven't decided yet, personally. We have some great Halloween books out on display in case you need some inspiration like me. Stop by and check 'em out!
