HAUNTED LIBRARY
November 6 & 7 | 8:30 - 11:30 p.m.
Kirkhof Lobby & Mary Idema Pew Library
The library is no longer a haven of silence and study... it's a feeding ground for the undead!
Can you survive the maze of cursed shelves, dodge the brain-craving zombies, and escape with your story still intact?
Enter if you dare — but remember, overdue books aren’t the only things that come back to haunt you…
Check-In Process
Check-in will take place in the Kirkhof Lobby. There are two ways to go through the Haunted Library: Reserve in advance and walk-in.
RESERVE IN ADVANCE:
Reserve a timeslot to go through the library to guarantee your entry!
Arrive at the check-in station 30 minutes before your scheduled time to confirm you are here. If you are coming as a group, all members need to be present when you check-in. Please note, that reservations that are not completely full, may have additional guests added to their group to ensure that as many people as possible are able to enjoy the event!
WALK-IN:
Walk-ins are welcome! On the night of the event, head to the check-in table designated for walk-ins. The volunteer will work to find an open time that is available for you. If it is not right away, come back to the check-in table 30 minutes before your allotted time! Walk-ins are not guaranteed entry to the library.
Liability Waiver
All participants must complete a liability waiver form before they enter the library. Participants may fill out the liability waiver prior to the event.
What to Expect
In order to have a scary and safe time, please follow the rules below:
- Don't touch the scarers! They won't touch you either!
- No harassing the scarers in any way. Ghouls just want to have fun
- Stay on the designated path. No Laker left behind!
Additionally, the route through the library uses stairs, with the option for elevators if needed! Just inform the check-in person and we will make sure the elevator is available for you.
