The Boston Public Library Fund will host Night(mare) in the Stacks: Celebrating Boston's Spooky Stories on Halloween night, Friday, October 31, from 8:00 p.m. to midnight at the Central Library in Copley Square.

The event, organized by the Emerging Leaders—a group of young Bostonians supporting the library—marks the first time the annual Night in the Stacks celebration will take place on Halloween.

Guests will have exclusive access to the historic McKim Building, featuring an open bar, curated small plates and desserts, live music and dancing, tarot card readers, and a wandering haiku poet. Attendees will also get early access to the BPL's new exhibition, Revolution! 250 Years of Art + Activism, which opens days before the event.

Proceeds support the Boston Public Library's free programs and services across the city.

Tickets are $220 and available until sold out at www.bplfund.org/nits.

The Boston Public Library Fund supports innovation at the Boston Public Library, enabling the library to respond to evolving community needs beyond essential services funded by the City of Boston.
