‘Night(mare) in the Stacks ‘ event coming Oct. 31 to Copley BPL
The Boston Public Library Fund has announced the return of ‘Night in the Stacks,’ now transformed into ‘Night(mare) in the Stacks: Celebrating Boston’s Spooky Stories.’
For the first time, the evening will take place on Halloween night—Friday, Oct. 31, from 8 p.m. to midnight—at the Central Library in Copley Square. The event is hosted by the Emerging Leaders, young Bostonians dedicated to supporting the Library’s crucial role in the city.
Guests will step inside the historic McKim Building and discover a one-of-a-kind celebration where they can explore every haunted corner. Tickets include an open bar; curated small plates and desserts; live music and dancing; tarot card readers and a wandering haiku poet; and exclusive access to the BPL’s new exhibition, ‘Revolution! 250 Years of Art + Activism,’ which opens just days before the event, as well as a tax-deductible donation to the Boston Public Library Fund.
Proceeds from Night(mare) in the Stacks support the Boston Public Library’s free programs and services, empowering learners of all ages and backgrounds across the city.
Tickets are available now, with prices increasing as Halloween approaches. Visit www.bplfund.org/nits to learn more and purchase your tickets.
