The New Berlin Library participating at Unadilla Valley School’s Night of Fun on Saturday, October 18 from 5-7 pm.

The library will have a decorated table and be handing out Halloween grab bags and have a Halloween themed bean bag toss game with prizes.

The Adult Halloween Art Class will take place on Monday, October 20 at 5 pm. This class will be Snow White inspired poison apples. Realistic, full sized fake apples, hot glue, paint, and twine will be used to create apples that appear to be dripping with green poison with skeletal faces. This art class is sponsored by the New Berlin Art Forum. This class is free and open to the public but registration is required.

The Children’s Halloween Art Class will take place on Wednesday, October 22 at 5 pm. This class will be mini 3-D light up jack-o-lanterns. The bottom of clear 20 oz soda bottles, air dray foam clay, and LED flameless votive candles will be used to create the jack-o-lanterns. Cupcakes and apple cider will be served at this event. This art class is sponsored by the New Berlin Art Forum. This class is free and open to the public but registration is required.

The New Berlin Library is switching up how it decorates for Halloween. We are inviting the public to help decorate by making “book ghosts” to haunt the library shelves. The ghosts are made with cardboard sheets, old book pages, glue sticks, and black markers. After making a ghost you can place it in the library to join the haunting.

Finally, the library will be giving out candy on Halloween night, in front of the library, from 4:30 to7 p.m.
