The Shelbyville Public Library is well into the Halloween spirit.  They have several events planned for this month for people of all ages.  The events each relate to Halloween in some way, with some featuring fun, scary topics.  They all either are free or carry a low cost to attend, putting them well within reach to everyone in the community. 

The first forthcoming event is the adult paint night.  It’s scheduled for Thursday, October 16 from 5-7 p.m.  Monica Cameron, director of the Shelbyville Public Library, says these events have been popular in part because of the creative freedom the organizers encourage. 

Next up is true crime, in person.  On Monday October 20, a guest will discuss the case of Lizzie Borden.  In 1893, Borden was accused but eventually acquitted of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe.  The speaker lived in the same hometown as that of Borden and so brings a unique perspective of the case. 

Five days later is an event which is geared towards younger kids.  On Saturday, October 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., kids will have the opportunity to make crafts while watching Scared Shreckless, a made-for-television film which debuted in 2010.
