Cumberland County Library Holding ’31 Days of Love’ Event for Shelter Pets

Author Minda
Cumberland County Public Library is holding special events all October to help collect supplies for shelter pets, as well as adoption events.

The Cumberland County Public Library is stepping up the pet love, with the “31 Days of Love” campaign, to help get much-needed supplies to shelter pets.

Every library location in Cumberland County is accepting donations of pet supplies for animals that are sheltered at Cumberland County Animal Services.

“Donations can be delivered to any library location and may include pet food, toys, blankets, newspapers and other animal-related supplies,” Cumberland County said in a release. “Cumberland County Animal Services also has a donation wish list on the Cumberland County Animal Services website here.”

In addition to the supplies drive, if you’re looking for a furry best friend, there will be pet adoption programs throughout October at different library locations.

The scheduled pet adoption programs will be at:

  • Hope Mills Branch Library: October 8 – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • Headquarters Library: October 15 – 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
  • Cliffdale Regional Library: October 18 – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
  • North Regional Library:  October 28 – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

And if you can’t make any of those special events, you can always see the shelter pets at Cumberland County Animal Services Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., or on Saturdays from 1-5 p.m. (Call to confirm opening on weekends.)

You can also see the adoptable animals through Cumberland County Animal Services website here: Adoptable Animals.

Cumberland County Animal Services is located at 4704 Corporation Drive in Fayetteville. They accept donations of pet supplies year-round during regular business hours: Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m and Saturdays 1 – 5 p.m.

Amok! Amok! Hocus Pocus 2 Watch Party Ideas

The witches are back, as Disney+ is bringing back everyone’s favorite trio of witchy sisters with the release of “Hocus Pocus 2.”

The streaming network announced that the long-awaited sequel will launch September 30, 2022. It’s been almost 30 years since we have seen the Sanderson Sisters in action and frankly, this calls for a celebration!

The new movie will pick up almost 30 years after Max (Omri Katz) lit the Black Flame Candle in the 1993 film version, and accidentally resurrected three witches on the hunt to steal children.

“It’s been 29 years since someone lit the Black Flame Candle and resurrected the 17th-century sisters, and they are looking for revenge,” the film’s official description reads. “Now it is up to three high-school students to stop the ravenous witches from wreaking a new kind of havoc on Salem before dawn on All Hallow’s Eve.”

“Lock up your children,” Midler’s character Winifred shouts in the recently released teaser trailer, after the Black Flame Candle is once again lit, resurrecting her and her sisters. “Yes, Salem, we’re back!”

What better way to get your spooky on than with the perfect Hocus Pocus 2 watch party? Here’s some of the best ways to celebrate the long-anticipated release.
