This Halloween is the Library scarily good or frighteningly bad?
This Halloween we offer you the opportunity to write the Library a terrifying Halloween message. You can let us know what you think is “scarily good” or simply “fang-tastic” about the Library and what really works for you. Alternatively let us know what you think might be “frighteningly bad” or positively “ghoulish” so we can start improving it for you.
