Abstract	Kelly Klober, the school librarian for Danville's (Arkansas) sole elementary school, provides school library services for the school's three hundred and twenty-five students. With the help and support of the learners, faculty and staff, and the community-at-large, together they have transformed the school library from a place that houses books into a hub of learning during the school day and beyond. Klober has long been a fan of Tales from the Crypt productions at Mount Holly Cemetery in Little Rock, put on by Parkview Art Science Magnet High School. Drama students from the school research someone buried in the cemetery and then deliver a monologue next to the subject's grave one October evening. The audience walks through the production, picking up some history lessons along the way. For many years, Klober has wanted to gather up her students and take them to Little Rock to enjoy the experience. As Little Rock is an almost two-hour drive away, however, and the Mount Holly experience is offered only on a weeknight (and with a long wait in line to boot), taking the students to this experience seemed destined to remain a dream. In this article, Klober describes how she developed a similar program using a very old and history rich cemetery in the middle of Danville. The program involved cleaning up the cemetery, learning about the history, involving the community, and delivering a hometown program. Klober closes with lessons learned for educators who would like to create a similar program. (ERIC).
