The Boston Public Library Fund is thrilled to announce 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, October 31, from 8:00 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:

-         Open bar

-         Curated small plates and desserts

-         Live music and dancing

-         Tarot card readers and a wandering haiku poet

-         Exclusive access to the BPL’s new exhibition, Revolution! 250 Years of Art + Activism, which opens just days before the event

-         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.

$180 — Now through August 31

$200 — September 1–30

$220 — October 1 until SOLD OUT
