Summer reading is in full swing at the library: Our theme this year is science, and the kids are learning all about Fizz, Boom, Reading!
Also, be sure to sign up for our summer reading goals: kids can earn prizes as well as an invitation to our pool and pizza party at the end of the summer.
See you at the library!
Harry Potter is midway through his training as a wizard and his coming of age. Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup. He wants to find out about the mysterious event that’s supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn’t happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. But unfortunately for Harry Potter, he’s not normal – even by wizarding standards. And in his case, different can be deadly.
Join us for a discussion of book four of the Harry Potter series on May 31. All ages welcome. First time readers and re-readers welcome. Muggles, wizards, and witches welcome! We have both the audio and print book available if you need a copy. We will start at 10am and go until we run out of things to talk about.
