Well, Dear Guest, when was the last time you added a truly interesting rock to your collection? Tonight, Ms. Merrick will soon have you hunting for your very own Hag Stone! Once she tells you of all the magical might these "holy stones" are historically said to carry with them; the fun & mayhem they can make and prevent- well, we predict you'll end up bewitched by the story and the stone. Please choose your favorite spot in The Reading Room as The Midnight Library "rocks" your world.

Welcome, Dear Guest! If you've been feeling a little under the weather- the cure is "dead ahead!" Just saunter over to our Hospitality Tray where Bob's your Uncle AND your medicine! Tonight, your Divine Hostess is more than a little pleased to fill you in on how your forebearers were munching on the dead to try to live longer themselves! BONUS! There are also 2 Spirit Board messages to be read out from Stefan Strangeways! (Please be advised--The Midnight Library & Miranda Merrick are not responsible for these messages, they are merely the transmitters of them. So there.

Welcome Spooky Lovelies, we advise you to watch where you step on the grounds this evening, Dear Guest, and we politely ask that you not inadvertently carry in any muck your shoes may have gathered as you find your way to your seat in the Reading Room. You’ll find mini hay bales & sugar cubes on the Hospitality Tray… and a healthy dose of cautionary warnings and old-timey tales of dark horses! Please, Hold Your Horses, as we meet some delightfully-devilish demon steeds… and - a mysterious stranger…

The sweet scent of cotton candy drifts along in the warm evening air… soft thunder can be heard far off in the fading glow of a perfect evening… The Festival in Phantom Forest is one of a kind, immersive event meant to be a unique journey of the mind for guests of The Midnight Library. For this reason, it is greatly advised that in order for the listener to fully experience their environment- a quiet atmosphere and the use of quality headphones or earbuds- is highly recommended. Admission is free, and you may want to bring a jacket.

Tonight as Mr. Darling slumbers in his den, Miranda shares the answers to some of The Midnight Library's most dedicated fans, its patrons.  This rugged group of daring individuals has Miranda's undivided attention. Get a private peek into her ... mostly direct answers to their most burning questions: Can Irma control our dreams? How are the books in the library organized? Are there any mythological guardians in the library or upcoming readings about them? And who is the proprietor of The Broom & Fang Pub?  These curious questions and more are answered for you tonight.  Buckle in.

Something seems a little off in The Midnight Library… No, no more off than usual… Welcome, Dear Guests!  Tonight, enjoy an especially weird treat as Irma escorts you to The Reading Room and your Divine Host, Miranda Merrick, presents a tour of all of the fine products and unique services offered to you from this season’s splendid sponsors:  The Broom & Fang Pub, Grimm’s Grocers, The League of Lady Gravediggers, plus several one-of-a-kind offers that only The Midnight Library can provide!

… safely, of course

Step right this way, Dear Guest!  No, not that way…. this way!  Join us in our other Reading Room tonight as we tour the house of Winchester and the heart of Sarah Winchester.  How did a lone woman with no architectural knowledge command the building of such an astounding and confounding mansion- and WHY?  Join us in the 24,000 sq. ft. house as we try to unravel it’s baffling way into being! DISCLAIMER: Any similarities between Winchester House and The Midnight Library are strictly coincidental -and probably a figment of your disturbed imagination.  Welcome to Winchester House.

It’s the 50th Reading Celebration, Dear Guests!!  Brought to you LIVE (relatively) from The Broom & Fang Pub!  Give the bouncer the password, step inside, jump over the snakepit and join us in a cozy corner as Miranda Merrick, Mr. Darling, Irma, and The Lormen spend a daring evening of delightful storytelling, unique cuisine, swanky music, and some questionable happenings for which there will be no answers.  We believe there’s even a chance you’ll survive and perhaps even remember this nite out for a long time. Maybe.

Welcome to The Reading Room, Dear Guest!  Why doesn’t anyone want to sit beside Mr. Cutlass, our totally just-for-show, prop guillotine??  Oh well.  Please find a comfy spot and pull the blankets up tight around your chilly neck because tonight our heart-stopping topic is all about BEHEADINGS!  When did they start?  How were they improved?  Why were they popular?  Who tried to speak after they were beheaded?  And why are they a hot topic in more ways than one in The Midnight Library?  Head right this way!

What if... someone thoughtfully awoke an angry, vicious spirit from its cozy slumber… and it was waiting to meet YOU?  Well then, perhaps you’d better hurry along to The Reading Room to mingle with George “Bloody” Mackenzie fresh from his Black Mausoleum in Greyfriars Kirkyard!  It’s not all terror, though. There’s also fire, an explosion, plague pits, Harry Potter connections, and one Good Boy! (No, not Mr. Darling) Come, Dear Guest, and tiptoe through the tombstones with us!
