Share this post:

Spooky season approaches! For some, part of October will be spent gearing up for Halloween and Día de Muertos. Others may be excited about the cooler weather and fall recipes. Maybe “pumpkin spice season” will be observed where you live.

Regardless of your October plans, we hope you make time to join us for some of our upcoming webinars on Congress.gov and federal statutes. More information about the Law Library’s upcoming U.S. law webinars and registration links can be found below.
