Trick or Treat Night at the Library Approximately 70 children came to the Allbritton Foyer of Moody Memorial Library to play trick-or-treat with library staff on Tuesday, Oct. 28. The event was held in connection with the Treat Night sponsored by Campus Living and Learning. Costumes ranged from the Queen of Hearts and one of her playing cards to Alice and Wonderland to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and a mad scientist and his assistants – and that was just the library staff! Some of the costumes the children wore were the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, fairies, lions, firemen, Elmo and Harry Potter. Children and their parents took time to peruse the Frankenstein Exhibit, with one guest commenting that it was nice to have the treat night in conjunction with the exhibit. The early medical instruments were a real crowd-pleaser. Halloween candy was also given to Baylor students as they worked at the study tables in the foyer and passed through the library entrance. During the day, the library staff competed in costume and office decorating contests. The Preservation unit won for best decoration, and Rober Lugo received the prize for best costume.
