The Kenton County Public Library celebrates 20 years of its Haunted Library with a one-night walk-through at the Independence Branch on Friday, October 23, from 6 to 9:30 p.m. This year's theme is the 'Confectionary Catastrophe': visitors enter the fictional town of Smoat, Vermont, whose famous candy factory closed in 1956 amid stories of vanished employees, strange experiments, creature sightings and a mysterious underground cavern, and they get to decide for themselves what really happened. The library lists the event for children ages 5-8, tweens, teens and adults, so it is pitched at families rather than as an adults-only haunted house, although the scare level is not described. No registration is listed, and families can come any time during the three-and-a-half-hour window. The branch is at 1992 Walton-Nicholson in Independence.
