What the library says is planned
The program is listed under STEM activities and is built around practical experiments and scientific discovery with a seasonal theme. The library names the National Science Teaching Association, the Emporia State student chapter of the Tri Beta biological sciences honor society, and ESU Chemistry I students among those presenting the activities.
The published description does not provide a station-by-station experiment list. Families should therefore use the listing as an outline of the theme, rather than expect a particular demonstration seen in an unrelated Halloween science video.
A local option for the week before Halloween
The evening timing gives families an activity to consider after the school day. Its combination of a familiar public venue and science-focused participation may appeal to children who enjoy asking how things work as well as those drawn by the Halloween theme.
Parents planning a visit can check the age category and contact the library with questions about whether the session suits their child. Any questions about registration, accommodations or supervision should be directed to the organizer rather than inferred from the event’s free admission.
Where to check before attending
The library’s event page lists its youth-services contact at youthservices@emporialibrary.org and 620-340-6468. The main library number is 620-340-6462.
Check the official listing before leaving home for any late changes. The scheduled time is 6–7:30 p.m. on October 27; ordinary daytime library hours shown elsewhere on the website should not be substituted for the event time.
Spooky Science is an event preview based on the organizer’s published schedule. Attendance figures, photographs of participants and accounts of specific experiments will only be available after the program takes place.
