		<description>&lt;span&gt;Scary Stories to Tell in the Library is a spooky celebration of storytelling. Oral storytelling is hardly new; stories have been passed down from one generation to the next for tens of thousands of years. The Prairie State College Library will continue this tradition with this event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come share your most bone-chilling story, and hear others share theirs on Tuesday, October 27 from 12:30 - 1:30 PM in the library classroom. A special treat will be waiting just outside the library too!&lt;/span&gt;</description>
