GLADSTONE — The Gladstone Public Library’s Halloween story hour was held on Saturday, Oct. 26. The theme this year was “Batty for Books.”

Children ages two through ten years old and their families were invited to attend. During the story hour, children and their families were able to listen to a guest singer, Julie Aschbacher, and guest readers.

Children were able to make a bat themed craft. Each child received a Halloween goody bag. Participants were also able to enjoy a sweet Halloween treat.

The library offers a special thanks to the Gladstone Friends of the Library for sponsoring the Halloween story hour.
