When autumn arrives and the air turns crisp, there’s nothing quite like sinking into stories of magic, covens, and folklore. But “witch books” aren’t just one genre! Whether you want high-stakes fantasy, cozy autumnal vibes, spine-chilling horror, or swoon-worthy romance, we’ve got a witchy read for every mood this season!

🎥 Check out the full Off the Shelf video for our recommended witchy reads on YouTube (link in bio to watch)!

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday morning for a Treehouse Storytime & Craft! Monmouth Museum Volunteer and MTPL Board of Trustees Vice President Denise Hibell led a storytime and craft activity all about treehouses, inspired by the Monmouth Museum’s children’s wing.

Children enjoyed treehouse-themed stories, then created their own treehouse crafts.

Looking for more library fun? Middletown schools are off November 2-6, and MTPL has a week packed with activities for kids, ending with a Drop-in Craft on Saturday, November 7. Visit mtpl.org for details and registration. 🍂✨
