Magic and Monsters

Prepare to be spooked by Stephen King’s “Dreamcatcher” monster (Lawrence Kasdan Papers), get into the Halloween spirit with witchcraft and wizardry, learn about real family curses, and surround yourself with mystical creatures from Special Collections!

Have a magical and spooky Halloween!

Join us in the Special Collections Research Center (on the 6th floor of Hatcher) for Third Thursdays at the Library, a themed monthly open house where we share materials from our collections. While you’re here, pick up a passport and collect a stamp from each of the four Third Thursday Open Houses — Asia Library, Clark Library, International Studies, and Special Collections Research Center — to win a poster.

Library events are free and open to the public, and we are committed to making them accessible to attendees. If you anticipate needing accommodations to participate, please notify the listed contact with as much notice as possible.
