Ghosts of the Page: A Literary Masquerade at the Parlin Memorial Library

The Everett Public Libraries invite the community to the premiere event of the season, Ghosts of the Page: A Literary Masquerade, on Saturday, October 26th at 6:00pm. This is a free event intended for an adult audience and will be held at the Parlin Memorial Library, located at 410 Broadway.

Patrons are invited to step into the enchanted library for a night of fun and frivolity. See stories and characters shimmer to life within the rows of your favorite books. Within the haunted maze you may find that the figures you most love and revile have shaken off their inky bonds to offer you a treat…or a trick! Don your finest literary attire and you may win the favor of the resident spooks, as well as the contest for best-dressed literary figure. Join us heroes and anti-heroes, myths and monsters, bards and wordsmiths of the fictional, fantastical, historical and allegorical; all are welcome!

“From designing a maze, making the music playlist, and creating a cozy reading corner, the library staff have loved working on this and we’re even more excited to share it with the community,” says the new Information Services Librarian, Aubri Skaggs-Brads. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to get out on the town with friends and dance the night away!”

Don’t forget to wear your dancing shoes, as melodious tunes will keep you moving throughout the evening. Also, remember to bring cash so you can try your luck in the raffle baskets provided by the Friends of the Everett Public Libraries. There will be free refreshments for patrons to enjoy, and you should be sure to stop by the photo booth to capture the memory of this magical evening. For ages 18 and up, this night is full of magic—will you join the tale?
