Syosset Public Library Shares Their Full Summer Scares Slate

One of the biggest supporters of Summer Scares programming is Syosset Public Library in New York. Community Engagement Specialist Jessikah Chautin plans virtual programming around Summer Scares every year. This year she shared the schedule with us and invites any of your or your patrons to join in.

I have posted the entire schedule below with the Zoom links. It all begins tomorrow with 2022 Summer Scares spokesperson Alma Katsu in an event that needs no registration. 

One of the best things Syosset does with their Summer Scares programming is to use it as a way to feature their local horror authors.  That is a great example of what we are trying to do with the program in general. We want to use it as a way to feature Horror-- all of it-- not just the chosen authors. Chautin gets that. 

So please, check out this programming schedule and consider joining in-- you or your patrons.

Finally, if you want some help planning Horror events at your library anytime of year, email libraries@horror.org.

American Gravestone Symbolism 101 with Dr. Elise Ciregna 

Thursday, June 9 2022 at 7 P.M. 

Link to join Webinar

Have you ever wandered through a cemetery and wondered about the motifs and symbols carved into them?  Join Dr. Elise M. Ciregna as she presents a talk on American gravestones and symbolism over the past 400 years. Symbolism on American gravestones can tell us a lot about attitudes towards death, religious belief, contemporary thought, social and popular culture, literature and artistic endeavor, and many other areas of interest. We will look at some of the most common themes and how to interpret the symbols and motifs on gravestones, and link these to their time, their places and the people who used them to mark their loved one's burial site.
