I love me some Halloween (Oh, did you notice my not-so-chic Halloweenie layout? Of course you didn’t.). You know who else loves Halloween? Candy-bloated, $60 costume-wearing kids. So, of course, the library wants to cash in on this opportunity and throw our younger patrons a little par-tay. Guess who gets that jobby?

Yup.

So, for our Adventure Club, which is grades 1-5, I wanted to make it special. And not your typical “bobbing for apples, Oh, look how much candy we can inhale” party. And since I have a very, oh, let’s call it “obsession” with multi-cultural programming, I am having an International Halloween Party.

The kids are going to learn about China’s Mid-Autumn Festival, Native American Harvest Festivals, Diwali and, of course, Dia de los Muertos. And then make a craft and have a snack from each of the cultures! Woo hoo! Multiculturalism!

(Yes, the Native American Craft is missing and that’s because it’s still somewhere in my brain, not quite ready to come out yet. Though I really wish it would.)
