[Publib] Harry Potter Party

[Paula Laurita]

We had a fantastic turnout, with about 180 people (children and adults) for
our party (10PM-12:00:01 AM).  We gave out door prizes twice during the
evening.  We gave out numbers to pick-up the books so that people didn't
have to worry about people lining up at 10 PM to be first in line.  We also
had as a prize the #1 spot to pick-up THE book.  

I set up various activity stations for our young witches and wizards:

a.	Make a wand
b.	Make a pop-up Hogwarts
c.	Play Harry Potter Bingo
d.	Make a mask
e.	Scratch Art Magic

Our refreshments were:

a.	Peeves Poltergeist Punch
b.	Cookies
c.	Magic Wand Pretzels
d.	Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans
e.	Sweet Parcel Tongue Bread
f.	Puffskein Bread
g.	Dean Thomas West Ham Football Treats

We were very pleased at how well everyone conducted themselves.  We only
found one cup that was missed during the clean-up.

We have found that a library is not an end in itself, but a means to many
ends.
