The meeting room of the Canton Branch Library will transform into a spooky storytelling arena. Jane Shipman, known as Miss Jane for many years when she worked as a children’s librarian in Waynesville, will tell Halloween stories appropriate for both children and adults. Some stories may be a bit frightening, some may be funny, but all are sure to enchant.

Everyone is invited to the free performance, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11. Children are encouraged to try out their Halloween costumes. Treats, generously provided by the Friends of the Library, will be served. For information, call648-2924.
