Teen Zombie Nerf Night

Teens, ages 12-18, are invited to join us in the Main Auditorium on Thursday, October 24, from 4:30 to 7 p.m., to get ready for a Zombie Nerf Night. At 4:30 p.m., teen participants will transform into the walking dead by applying Zombie makeup. Attendees may bring tattered clothes or old dress attire to fit the theme. After the library closes, a Zombie themed Nerf night will take place throughout the library. Games played will feature a living dead theme.
