About Spirit Week
With Halloween coming up during a difficult time in our history, we want to spread a little happiness and celebrate the season with a Halloween “spirit” week! Join us on social media for a socially distanced week of Halloween fun. Post a picture each day (or a day of your choosing) with the hashtag #MetroLibrarysGotSpirit. We will share your pictures in our story to spread a little happiness. Don’t be afraid to get creative and, as always, don’t be afraid to get literary.
- Sunday, Oct. 25 – Orange & Black Day
- Monday, Oct. 26 – Stripe Day
- Tuesday, Oct. 27 – Sports Day
- Wednesday, Oct. 28 – If I was on vacation, I’d wear..... (Since many have had to skip vacation this year, dress to indicate where you might have gone ie: I LOVE NYC t-shirt or a Hawaiian lei, etc)

- Friday, Oct. 30 - Mask / PPE decorating or other Halloween costume
