Check out the fun we had last week for Halloween!  Our Story times all paraded around the library and got treats from each of the departments.  The treats were provided by the Friends of the Stow-Munroe Falls Public Library.  You can also see some different pictures on our website and on our Facebook page.

If you like horror stories, you'll want to read the new book The Monstrumologist, by Rick Yancey. It's about an orphan boy apprenticed to a doctor of "Monstrumology," the science of monsters. It's the start of a new series. We don't have a copy yet in the library, but for this week only, Sept. 22-29, you can read details about it and read the book here on your computer--IF YOU DARE! Don't say I didn't warn you...

And the GOLDEN PIE CRUST award :-) goes to....PIZZINO'S PIZZERIA! In a hard-fought battle, Pizzino's of Stow won the blind taste test over second-placed finisher ROMEO'S PIZZA of Cuyahoga Falls. MARCO'S PIZZA of Stow and GIONINO'S of Munroe Falls were the other top four finishers. Many many thanks to these four restaurants, as well as to: ALTIERI'S, PAPA JOHN'S, and BELLACINO'S for participating in our first-ever pizza taste-off for teens. Their generous donations made the evening a huge success for our 18 hungry tasters.

Can't you just smell the melted cheese and taste the chewy crust? Our pizza taste-off for teens grades 6-12 is Tuesday night! Seven local pizza restaurants are providing cheese pizzas for us to sample, and vote on our favorites. There are still a few slots left, so if you're free at 6:30pm, call us to sign up! Mmmmm.....
