This event is for tweens ages 9-12. Parents must stay at the library for the entire event. You are welcome to browse books upstairs, work at a study station or take advantage of our lovely outdoor seating areas.

Our Murder Mystery parties are a blast! You will receive a character profile prior to the event. Show up that night as your character, have some dinner, some fun, maybe win some prizes and try to figure out Who Dun It!

Confirmation emails will be sent beginning February 23rd. You must reply to this email so I can send a character assignment. This will include a description of your character so that you can plan out a costume. When you arrive at the library on the day of the event you must be in character and stay in character until the event is over. You will be given a script to read from so you don't need to come up with anything to say. The event will be broken into 3 parts - a meet and greet, dinner and dessert. You will spread disinformation, gather facts and try to solve the mystery. Prizes will be awarded for best costume, best character portrayal and correct whodunit solution. Please be creative with your costume but you do not need to spend money on your look. Making costume props is a fun activity. 

Send any questions to Christine cwalshdavies@cumberlandcountylibraries.org

Patty O' Brian's Pub is smack dab in the heart of Dublin. This hopping hotspot is famous for putting on to-die-for celebrations. The highly-anticipated annual St. Patrick's Day bash is drawing near, and it's almost time to bring out your inner leprechaun and enjoy delicious Irish offerings while partying with the most prominent, beloved, and trendy townsfolk. However, you should proceed with caution at the gathering. Scandals, feuds, and mayhem plagued the last year like no other. People who didn't have a mean bone in their body have become some of the most ruthless, vengeful souls you've ever known. Nevertheless, the pub management expects everyone to cast aside their differences - if only for one enjoyable evening. Then, if all attendees comply, everyone might be safe at the party. You have your ticket to the celebration, and this is where your story begins.
