The after-school crowd at Bustleton Library gets a Halloween twist this week. The branch's weekly Fun Friday of crafts and games for school-age children is billed as "Spoooooky Fun Friday!" on Friday, Oct. 23, 2026, at 3:30 p.m., according to the Free Library of Philadelphia.
With a title like that, it's a fun warm-up for Halloween week.
The Bustleton Library is at 10199 Bustleton Ave., at Verree Road, and it's open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays, per the Free Library. The branch has a parking lot plus street parking, and it's handicapped accessible. Fun Friday is a weekly program, held Fridays at 3:30 p.m.
Bustleton's library story started in 1905, when the Free Library placed a "traveling library" of 50 books in Tustin's Drug Store, and the current one-story brick branch opened on Oct. 1, 1965, according to the Free Library's branch history. While the kids craft, take a look at the carved wood mural, "Man's Learning Preserved," by James House Jr.

A neighborhood library that's been lending books in Bustleton since 1905 still finding new ways to get kids in the door makes me smile.
