Spooky season is upon us! Check out Amanda Woomer's talks all over the B&ECPL system--especially here on October 12! (yes, we're open on the holiday)

🎃 OUR FINAL HALLOWEEN SCHEDULE 🎃

I'm hitting the road and heading to some of my favorite libraries in Western New York to talk about all things spooky, from women in the paranormal, femme phantoms of negotiable affections, Victorian mourning customs, and haunted places located right here in our region.

Mark your calendars! You'll find me at:
Hamburg Public Library
Grand Island Memorial Library
Crane Branch Library
North Tonawanda Public Library
Lancaster Public Library
Town of Tonawanda Public Library - Kenmore Branch
and even Oakwood Cemetery's Spirits with the Spirits event!
