EDGAR ALLAN POE STORIES If you like suspense, then you’ll love this storytelling program of Edgar
Allan Poe classics at the Library. On Friday, October 14 at
8:00 p.m., Storyteller, Carol Mon, will bring the classic Poe chiller "The
Tell-tale Heart" alive. This is a performance, definitely more chilling
than
reading the story. Also included in the 45-minute program is: "The Pit and
the Pendulum", a story of hope and survival and "The Black Cat" a
gruesome tale of the horrors of alcoholism and insanity. The program is
PG-rated, great for teens and adults, but not for little kids.
Refreshments
will be served. Register for this free program by calling the Simsbury
Public Library at (860) 658-7663 or signing up on-line at the Library

Public Library Simsbury Public Library will bring back its
very popular program for 7th and 8th graders – Survivor Night at the
Library – on Thursday, October 27
from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. By doing a fun scavenger hunt the students will
learn how to find their way through the jungle of collections, databases
and
other information in the Library. They’ll compete for prizes and show that
they are Library Survivors! The Program will begin at 7:00 PM with a short "briefing" and refreshments
in the Program Room on the lower level of the Simsbury Public Library at
