A haunting tale at the library

The Argie Cooper Public Library was haunted Wednesday morning. The air was filled with the sounds of hooting owls, cackling witches, moaning ghosts and howling werewolves. Oh, and giggling children, too. Kaleb Locke, 4, listens intently as 'Miss Margaret' Petty reads Halloween stories -- more silly than spooky -- to the kids at the children's reading hour.

Most wore their costumes to the Library story hour, and the crowd included three Spider-men, two princesses, a clown-fairy, Dorothy from Oz, a penguin, a frog, a Ghostbuster, and one mom with a plain orange T-shirt that read, 'This is my Halloween costume.'
