If you love spooky season like I do, then you are loving life right now. It’s the best time of year (IMO). A time when the weather gets little chilly, the leaves start turning colors, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING becomes available, and little ghosts and goblins are hiding around the corner. I love the cozy nights and the spooky atmosphere. I love it all…and so does RPL! We have several fun events planned for you as well as an abundance of great books from eerie to downright terrifying. Check them out!
