Get ready for a frightfully fun Friday night at the Haunted Library at BookMaze Mesa!
On Friday, October 30, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, BookMaze Mesa transforms into a Halloween destination for readers, families, and fans of spooky fun. Guests can venture through the Haunted Library, a specially created haunted-house experience inside the bookstore, for $5 per person. Children age 12 and under are admitted free.
Outside, enjoy a free Trunk-or-Treat featuring local authors and community participants decorating their vehicles and handing out treats. Visitors can meet local writers, explore books, enjoy Halloween activities, and celebrate the season with the Mesa literary community.
The Mesa Public Library Read Runner will also be on site Friday evening, adding another family-friendly way to celebrate books and reading.
