Harry Potter 20th Anniversary
The NHC Public Library celebrated the 20 year publication anniversary of Harry Potter in the U.K. last year, but did you know that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone wasn't published in the U.S.A. until a year later? Hard as it is to believe, we went a whole year without Harry in the States! Library staff think this deserves a second party. We hope you'll join us for another magical Harry Potter Day! Family-friendly activities include:
Fearson's Feathered Friends with the Raptor Center
Fishers Feisty Fiends with the Fort Fisher Aquarium
McMana's Mammal Menagerie with the Sheriff's Office Animal Unit
History of Magic Class with Professor Sheppard
Herbology Class with the New Hanover County Cooperative Extension
