Summer Scares YouTube Playlist is Live!

It's Alive.....The Summer Scares 2021 YouTube Playlist. Click here to access it.

Right now, all we have live is the video explaining the FREE Summer Scares Programming Guide, a product of the Springfield-Greene County [MO] Library District, explained by Summer Scares Programming Chair, Konrad Stump. 

But already loaded to go live on 5/24 are 3 panels that you can use as programs for your patrons featuring the 2021 Summer Authors in conversation with Summer Scares Committee members. The panels are broken up into age groups.

May is when Summer Scares really gets going in earnest. Our podcast partner, Ladies of the Fright will be releasing their first Summer Scares episode this month and we have a few more fun videos planned. 

For the most up to date information and resources, check out the Summer Scares Resource Page. For example, that page already has 2 podcast links about the program, including one from one of our sponsors, Booklist, that features an interview with Summer Scares 2021 spokesperson Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Hear which book she calls a "platypus."

And don't forget that this is year 3 of Summer Scares. We also have an archive of past lists, programming guides and resources here. You have plenty of titles and their readalikes to make up spooky displays and host scary book discussions for all ages of readers, all summer long.

Horror books make a great read all year long, but especially in the summer-- chilling tales for the hot days.
