Get inspired for Halloween with Craft & Hobby

by Beth Staats
Through eLibrary Minnesota's Craft & Hobby resource, libraries can inspire patrons of all ages this October by promoting expert-led video classes and live workshops covering festive treats, cozy crafts, and seasonal decor.
Three Halloween-themed cupcakes on a white background: a green Frankenstein cupcake with chocolate frosting hair, a mummy cupcake wrapped in white frosting with candy eyes, and an orange jack-o'-lantern cupcake with green frosting and a carved pumpkin face. The title "Halloween Treats" appears above the cupcakes.

Book cover of The Fort by Gordon Korman. The image shows a metal ladder leading upward against a blue background, with one rung bent and broken. At the base of the ladder is a doormat that says “The Fort,” and a small potted cactus sits on the mat. Text on the cover reads, “It’s our secret. Don’t tell.”
