October Events for Kids & Teens at WVPL

School has started and fall is here. There are lots of fall festivals happening this month just for kids and teens. We hope you’ll join us at one or maybe all of the fall events we have planned. Don’t forget to check the website for more events from kids to teens to grown-ups as well.

One big event to look out for is our Friends (Blue Bell Chapter) Used Book Sale happening Saturday, October 13 to Tuesday, October 16. Yes, they will have children’s books, teen books, and books for grownups. Proceeds from the sale benefit the library. Visit here for more information.
