Library plans a Halloween scavenger hunt for October 15

The county library's Mountain House listing schedules a Halloween Scavenger Hunt for Thursday, October 15. It says children can find clues hidden around the library and receive a small prize. The page displays no event time, so families should not infer an opening or closing hour from the date alone. The branch's current hours and any staff directions control participation.

The activity turns a library visit into a simple observation and navigation game. Caregivers should keep children within sight, respect quiet-study areas and avoid moving library property while searching. Costumes, if worn, should allow safe walking and clear vision. The page does not promise that prizes will remain available throughout the day, and the activity description should not be read as permission to enter staff-only areas.

Before leaving home, families should contact the branch or check the live listing for the participation window and any age guidance. A missing time is a source limitation worth stating clearly, not a blank to fill by guesswork. The contextual photograph shows unrelated children in seasonal costumes and does not portray Mountain House participants, clues, staff, prizes or the local branch.

How this was reported: Mountain House Live opened the linked Stockton–San Joaquin County Public Library event page on October 12, 2026 and recorded publication, event and retrieval dates separately. Factual statements are limited to the details displayed by that source. When a page carried no publication date, the source line says so instead of assigning one. A calendar entry establishes a planned time and place, not attendance, capacity, completion, quality, accessibility or a guaranteed outcome. A service page describes the publisher's current process, but forms, fees, hours and eligibility can change after retrieval. No interview, telephone call, on-site attendance, independent measurement or completed result is implied. The licensed photograph is context and not evidence that its people, place or equipment are connected to the story. Readers should reopen the direct source for cancellations, revisions and late instructions. No paid AI, translation, speech, advertising or other metered provider was called to prepare this edition.

What comes next: use the named agency's official calendar, registration, contact, records, athletics or account path for individual questions. Confirm the latest time, location, eligibility, fee, capacity, accessibility and documentation requirements before acting, and keep any official confirmation number. Never send passwords, payment-card data, student records, medical details or identity documents to Mountain House Live. Public availability is not permission to reuse another person's article, photograph, recording or personal story. This analysis explains practical local implications but does not replace the authority of the City, school district, library, college or regulator that published the source. After an event passes, the article remains dated archive material unless a material, dated update is issued. Corrections preserve original dates so an old notice is never presented as new. Topic matching covered every saved public edition in the preceding seven days; the water-polo item is explicitly marked as a material day-of follow-up to the October 5 advance item.

Edition accountability: the headline, summary and analysis are original Mountain House Live wording built from the linked primary source. They are not a quotation, eyewitness account, endorsement or substitute for the source record. The source URL remains attached so readers can compare the underlying page with this dated edition. If the publisher changes a live page after retrieval, the archive preserves what this edition reported and a later correction or follow-up must identify the new evidence and date. The image license, photographer, source page, file hash, editorial purpose and visual-review time are recorded separately from the article evidence.
