Frightfully fun Library’s Fall Festival survives a scary economy By Johnna Pinholster“They come and say ‘Snow White, Snow White I saw you in the movie!,’ ” Paulk said.
In addition to Paulk reading a scary story to the children, author Glenn Simmions read his new book “My Father’s Work” to a captive audience. In an attempt to bring teenagers to the library, the House of Horror, a haunted house for kids 13 and up, proved too much for some, with many screaming before they even stepped foot inside the door. “This is an important event for the library,” Paulk said. “We are more than just a repository for books and information; we are a community involvement center and if people do not come in the information does not come out.” The event is a way for people who may not usually come to the library to be lured in and maybe even get a library card before leaving, Paulk said.
