Streator library to turn into a haunted mansion Oct. 20

The Streator Public Library soon will be transformed into a haunted mansion.

The library will be hosting its Haunted Mansion event from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 20. Patrons should brace themselves as the very architecture of the library morphs and shifts, leading them through a maze of corridors that challenge their perception of reality.

Sticking with the Halloween spirit, the library also will host a skull scavenger hunt the week of Oct. 16.

Anyone is welcome to participate in the weekly themed scavenger hunt. Search the library and find all the hidden items.
