With the planned release of Hocus Pocus 2 at the end of September, Rodman Public Library is getting into the Halloween spirit a little early this year.

The Rodman Public Library and the Branch Library will be closed Monday, September 5 in honor of Labor Day.

Some of Rodman Public Library’s most popular children’s programs are returning this fall, including Wee Read, Storytime and Family Fun Night.

In addition, the Kids Book Club, Kids Gaming and Kids Crafting will continue to be held monthly and there will be a couple other fun special events thrown in the mix during the months of September, October, and November.

This summer, the Bookmobile will make 19 weekly stops throughout the season, including the Alliance Farmers’ Market at the northeast corner of State Street and Union Avenue from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on most Saturdays between June 24 and August 19.

It will also appear at First Friday events in downtown Alliance, the Historic Main Street Art and Music Festival on July 15, the Greater Alliance Carnation Festival on August 12 and the Martin Luther King Jr. Parade on August 26.

Teens who want to help shape services and programs at Rodman Public Library are encouraged to join the Teen Advisory Board.

A meeting will be held in the Main Library conference room from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 13 for teens, ages 12-18, who are interested in joining.
