Creepy Libraries
From the Series Spooky Stories for Grades 3-8
Most of the time, a library is a cozy place. There are bookshelves to explore, tables to study at, and, of course, lots of books to browse through and read. Yet what if there are also ghosts lurking about? Among the 11 haunted libraries in this book, children will discover one that is home to the spirit of a young girl who is depicted in its beautiful stained-glass window, one that is filled with ghosts who are distressed because it is built on top of their burial place, and one that has now turned into a bookstore yet is haunted by library patrons of the past--as well as a phantom cat. The creepy photographs and chilling nonfiction text will keep children turning the pages to discover more spooky stories.
