All-ages Family Show 7 p.m.-8 p.m.
GET YOUR TICKETS NOW!

and now a word from the Storyteller,
Jonathan Kruk ...
"I am the storyteller for the programs at Franklin Lakes. Teens will be treated or rather tricked by mysteriously haunted tales. They'll discover why a wailing ghost moans over the Hudson River. They'll encounter the vanishing Hitch-hiker, and then she'll make them jump! Younger children will indeed be treated to spooky but not too scary stories. There's the rollicking tale of "Rolly Head." They'll find out why some witches knot their noses, and learn the secret of the witch who puts happy into Halloween. If you scare easily note, there is always the old lady who was not afraid of anything. It's lively, dramatic Story Theater!"

Tour the HAUNTED Library!

Hi Louie and Carmine,

My name is Sky, I am a Teacup Yorkshire Terrier. So, hear Tedd Arnold is coming to the Library on Wednesday, October 28-I can hardly wait I LOVE AUTHOR TALKS. I've got my tickets.

TIME TO SIGN UP!!!!

Summer Reading Club is in full swing, come on down and see us and join the Club. There is so much going on, we don't know where to start! BTW, Louie and I just read the greatest new book called Adventure According to Humphrey by Betty G. Birney. We loved it! It's a story about a Humphrey (the class hamster) who has always wanted to go sailing, and he finally does-but OH WHAT AN ADVENTURE! LOL! Humphrey is a series so if you like this one, there are 4 more.

SHIRA PLOTZKER PET PSYCHIC AT FRANKLIN LAKES MAY 18, 2009

Shira Plotzker, Pet Communicator and Pet Psychic looked at a photo of me and said "Carmine, Carmine-you're a gentle, giant among guinea pigs. You love the simple life-fresh hay, a scratch behind the ear, a nice apple and a good book, oh...La Dolce Vita." Shira said "Carmine is eager to see Summer Reading Club begin-so many books to read, so many things to do!"

WHAT DID SHIRA SAY ABOUT LOUIE?

And guess what Shira said about me as she gazed at my photo...." LOUIE, BIG, BOLD and BEAUTIFUL, he's ALL guinea pig! Louie loves music and reading, and he wants to see BIG BASH of a SUMMER READING CLUB KICK OFF PARTY."
