Happy Halloween!

Our front door, modified for Halloween!

 

The Galvin Rare Book Room was transformed Wednesday night into a festival of thrills and chills!  Spooky music and dimmed lights enticed some brave souls into the room to explore skeletons, witches, and things that skitter in the dark!

Enjoy some of Angie White’s great pictures of our evening of fun.
