MILFORD — Information on Milford Public Library news and upcoming events are as follows:

Lights Out at the Library

This year’s theme, “Have a Graphic Novel Halloween!” was a huge hit with the trick-or-treaters. Rainy weather did not keep people from coming out and having fun. There were 468 people that took the tour through the library to see some of their favorite comic book and graphic novel characters come to life. That was a new attendance record.

Superman, Wonder Woman, Squish, Spiderman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wolverine, the Lunch Lady, Captain America and Ironman all made an appearance. There were 22 people involved in making the program happen, some of them library staff, but most were volunteers. Thank you to all the people who helped make the program such a success! Thanks to everyone who donated candy bars.

Fall Preschool

Join staff for the last fall story time at 10:15 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, or 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 19, as we talk about Thanksgiving and enjoy a Thanksgiving feast. Listen as staff reads “Turkey Trouble” by Wendi Silvano and “Thanks for Thanksgiving” by Julie Markes. After we listen to stories, we will get to make a turkey craft with foam and leaves. When we have finished our turkeys, we will sit down and enjoy a Thanksgiving feast of turkey treats. Feel free to bring a snack (crackers, pretzels or grapes, for example) to share with the group. See you for Thanksgiving fun.
