Scary!

October in the Library is the scariest month of the year!


Display of books with skull


Whether it's witches, ghosts, zombies, and monsters... Stop by our our Halloween display to find some creepy books to read this Halloween.

One of those scary books on display is:

Authors: Robert Kirkman, Charlie Adlard, Stefano Gaudiano, Cliff Rathburn 
Publisher: Image Comics, 2016 
Call Number: Leisure Reading 3785 






The Walking Dead. Volume 26,  Call to Arms presents a dystopian future in which the dead rise as zombies that feast on the living. Survivors in this zombie apocalypse band together in groups to fight to see another day.

 This graphic novel focuses on one survivor, Rick Grimes, who helped build a community of survivors to later be betrayed by them and forced to leave to create another one.

To check out this book, or any of the scary books on display, simply bring your SWC photo ID card because it serves as your Library card too.

Come to the Library to see more spooky graveyard-related titles on display.

Reference Book of the Week



Geo-Data : The World Geographical Encyclopedia 
John F. McCoy, project editor
Detroit : Thomson-Gale, 2003
Reference Section: call number G103.5 .G36 2003

Geo-Data: The World Geographical Encyclopedia provides entries on the physical geography of every country (as of 2003) in the world. Each entry includes maps of the country's geography as well as detailed text describing its features, climate and vegetation.

The entries for each country are standardized in format for ease of comparison, and include such fun facts for each country as largest city, tallest mountain, longest river, highest and lowest elevation, and types of natural hazards.
