Hundreds show up for Vestavia Hills 2017 Library Spooktacular

An estimated 225 people showed up for the 2017 Library Spooktacular at the Vestavia Hills Library in the Forest Friday night, officials said.

There were power rangers, princesses, video game characters and superheroes walking the halls and navigating the trails in the woods behind the library.

Children’s librarian April Moon, dressed as a laughing tree, greeted children as they entered the building and told them jokes and gave out candy.

The kids then were able to dance in the Monster Mash disco hall, visit Creepella’s Castle in the children’s program room, make Frankenstein, witch and werewolf bookmarks and listen to a progressive story as they visited different stations along the trails in the woods behind the library. The night ended with a costume contest.
