'Big Read' Wraps up with Movie, Murder Mystery

The Wyckoff Public Library will host the final events on Thursday, Nov. 15 and Friday, Nov. 16.

The following information was submitted by Wyckoff Public Library Director Mary Witherell: Just restored to power after a ten-day blackout caused by Hurricane Sandy, Wyckoff Public Library resumes its Big Read celebration of Edgar Allan Poe with two back-to-back events that reflect his founding  role on both the horror and mystery genres on Thursday, Nov. 15 and Friday, Nov. 16.
