The Magical Month of July

July is here – the month both the new Harry Potter movie and book come out.  Only 8 more days until Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix hits theaters and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be released in bookstores.

We’re having our own celebrations at the Norwalk Public Library with two Games & Discussion nights on July 5th and 12th at 6 pm.  Enjoy games, treats, and discussions of the new theories.
