It’s H.P. Lovecraft’s 126th birthday on August 20 and PCL will be celebrating with a special Lovecraft Week! On August 22 at Rochambeau, 7:00PM-8:30PM, Paul Di Filippo will talk about Lovecraft's fascination with Providence and Rhode Island and how the writer incorporated his love of Lil Rhody into his fantastic fiction. At Knight Memorial Library, Lovecraft Meets Minecraft returns for children and teens aged 7-18. The challenge? Create a chilling, spooky or weird image in Minecraft based on a brief quotation from one of H.P. Lovecraft's works, or a Lovecraft-influenced picture as supplied by librarians. Kids may work on computers in any library or at home to build creations and entries will be accepted August 15-20. The winners will be announced August 22. For more information about Lovecraft Meets Minecraft, contact Allison Riendeau ariendeau@provcomlib.org. Check the PCL calendar for all Lovecraft Week events, which include creepy crafts, spooky story times and horror movie double bills.
