Last CALL for October book display. This month, Library Team Member Angel has prepared a display of the past haunting the current: Not all ghosts belong to the dead. Some linger in forgotten stories, buried histories, inherited trauma, and memories that refuse to fade. This October, explore tales of the supernatural alongside stories of the past that continue to shape the present. From haunted places and restless spirits to hidden histories and generational legacies, these books remind us that sometimes the past is never truly behind us.
