Ghoulish Goodies by Sharon Bowers

I Love Halloween! It is my favorite holiday. I love getting dressed up and decorating my house. I love making creepy but delicious foods for the Halloween party I have every year. This cookbook is full of frightful recipes that look creepy but I bet taste fantastic. And what's better is that this cookbook is for kids.

Egg Hunt

On April 14, 2010 we had an Egg Hunt throughout the library. Two volunteers and I hid 345 candy filled eggs all over the library for the kids to find. I had about 30 children and adults and the egg hunt was a big hit. This may become a tradition.

Tip for Librarians: Doing an egg hunt after Easter can save you money. I was able to buy plastic eggs and candy for half the price. But make sure you go right after Easter because supplies only last so long.

Can you spot the Easter Eggs?
