'Trick-or-reading' at the library

On Wednesday, October 30, patrons at Vernon Area Public Library celebrated Halloween a little early and ahead of Thursday's snow. Two themed story times were attended by at-capacity crowds totaling more than 60 tots from newborns to age three. After the seasonal stories, caregivers guided their little ones in a "trick-or-reading" parade to collect a treat at each of five stops. The library hosts the popular event every year.
