Buy some books, and some cookies! The Friends of the Peace Dale Library are having a book and bake sale at 9 a.m.

“A pox o’ your throat, you bawling, blasphemous, incharitable dog!” – The Bard. The Contemporary Theater Company puts on The Tempest tonight. Tickets are $20, and the show is at 7 p.m.

Dosey doe, maybe? Some English country dancing will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the South Kingstown Land Trust Barn.

A titanic tribute to the Titanic. The URI symphony orchestra puts on the “Titanic Tribute” at 8 p.m. Admission is $10.

“There is something at work in my soul, which I do not understand.” – Mary Shelley. Here are today’s scary events:

• There is a Halloween gallery night at Silver Tides Jewelry on Boon Street at 6 p.m.
• The Pettaquamscutt Historical Society presents “The Haunts of Little Rest Hill” at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $15.

Oh no! Maybe there seriously aren’t that many events today, given that it’s World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. As a result, our events calendar for today is a bit barren. If you’re having an event, please let us know in the comments. Also, make sure it isn’t left out in the future – Submit it via this link (as long as you’re logged into your Patch account).

“We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” – Bob Ross. The Courthouse Center for the Arts is looking for art submissions for a December show. For more information, click here.

Whoooooooosh! On this day in 1961, the Saturn 1 rocket was tested.

Easy sewing that sings. Happy birthday to Isaac Singer! I mean, sure, he died in 1875, but he was a pretty cool inventor.
