Brookens Library-Main Level
This year we are moving our sale out of the basement and up to the main level for your convenience. Let us know what you think of the change.
It’s the perfect time to stock up and save big! We hope to see you at the book sale.
Part 1 of the Haunted Library 6 part Series
Once a year, near Halloween, on the third floor of Brookens Library, things change: the books transform into their former selves. The books become trees, the floor becomes a forest, the characters, too, become flesh and bone. It is only upon entering the wood do you come upon two realizations: the books you read have lied to you and things aren’t so happy after all….
Stay tuned to see how the story unfolds and be sure to come to the Third Annual Haunted Library at the University of Illinois Springfield on Friday, October 25th at 8:30 pm in Brookens Library. There will be caramel apple nachos, nitrogen ice cream and thrills and chills! We hope to see you there.
