Do you believe in urban legends? Join us once a month to learn about the spookiest stories and creepiest creatures around the world!

An urban legend, myth, or tale is a modern genre of folklore full of superstitions, cryptids, ghosts, and more! Join us to learn about the weirdest, funniest, and spookiest stories throughout history!

To continue our Cryptids & Creatures Club journey, our new program "Legends in the Library" will be taking us one step further into the world of legends and myths! As a group, we will read the most famous urban legends from around the world, and complete a craft or activity inspired from our story of the month. 

Ages 8 and up. 

This program is kid-friendly! However, please be advised that urban legends often feature monsters and other scary creatures. All stories will be approached with caution, and we remind everyone that these stories are fun and fictional!
