For Halloween, Paris libraries invite young and old to come and experience a moment outside the ordinary. For an activity, a reading, or a workshop, let yourself be whisked away into a world filled with fantastic creatures, secrets, and thrills.

Whether you are a fan of little scares or simply curious to discover new stories, everyone is invited to push open the door of their library and let themselves be surprised.
