King Township Public Library

Embrace the spookier things in life at the King Township Public Library branches throughout the month of October. With a lunchtime scream contest, Halloween themed crafts, preschool haunted house and virtual reality haunted houses, the library will get you in the spirit to celebrate.

Save money, resources and time this year by swapping a costume instead of buying a new one. Drop off your old costumes at the Schomberg Public Library on October 7, 8, 9 and 11 in exchange for a token that will let you get something new at the costume exchange on Wednesday, Oct. 15 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. If you can’t make it to the costume exchange, attend the last-minute costume workshop on Friday, Oct. 31 to ensure you’re dressed to impress.
