a free event for Young Friends - teens and anyone who enjoys a little bit of spookiness.
Jess Foster as The Mummy, Patricia Reed and Chris Lloyd
From 6 till 8 Young Friends had the Library to themselves with help from Library staff and FOL committee members Chris Lloyd and Patricia Reed. Patricia looked fabulous... dressing the part as Vampire Lady.
There were 45 young people and a good mix of ages.
Jess Foster was a real hit with her Ted Hughes reading which went for about 15 minutes and they were all mesmerised.
Library staff who came were brilliant, especially Cameron.
Shakira won the prize for best costume.
Everyone loved the pizza.
Requests from participants for a repeat event included playing board games - something which doesn't seem to happen much these days with smaller families.

Selena and panel members were excellent - interesting and well informed.

Marg Kaethner won the raffle which most fittingly was a book entitled Tea at the Library.

"This is the best day I've had since I moved to Mount Gambier - some intellectual stimulation at last!"
