Nights are getting dark and chilly, trees are changing color, and ghosts are abundant. This can only mean one thing… it’s almost Halloween!

We have a seasonal cart full of spooky and fun Halloween books for the little ones (or big kids too, there’s no age limit on Halloween here). Come check out some scary stories or festive fall reads this month.

We are excited to announce that our Crochet for Charity event is now a part of the state-wide Great Give Back initiative! On Saturday October 21st libraries all across New York State will be hosting events to give back to their communities. Join the cause and come give back at the Oxford Memorial Library. At the Crochet for Charity event, we will be making TwiddleMuffs to donate to nursing homes and care facilities for patients with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
