Have you ever wondered about the history of Halloween? Catch this week's episode of Stump the Librarian, KDL's family podcast where two librarians answer questions from listeners to learn some eerie history. Listen while you are carving your Halloween Pumpkins and learn of the origins of hallowed out gourds. Gobble up your Halloween candy and learn why we say "Trick or Treat" today.
Don't leave us hanging... listen and learn about sloths! Why do they move so slowly? Why do they hang upside down? Be prepared for surprise when you hear how much a sloth really sleeps during the day... and how much sloths poop!
Do you have a question that you think might stump our researching librarians? You can submit your questions at KDL.org/stump or email us at stumpthelibrarian@kdl.org. Follow our podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
