The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

The Mengle Memorial Library invites you to come to the library on Wednesday, October 28th at 6:00 p.m. to spend a night with Washington Irving’s classic tale “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” A reading of the legend will be followed by a viewing of a movie adaptation of the story.
