·         A Zombie Walk will take place from 2-3pm where people dress as zombies and wander the sidewalks of Downtown Sarnia to get people into the Halloween spirit.  People under 18 will need a parent or a signed permission slip available at the Reference Desk. Zombie walkers will gather in the Sarnia Library West Room before departing.
