Fans of Harry Potter wanted

The Scarborough Public Library’s Teen Advisory Board is introducing a new Fan Book Club series for ages 10 and up. The goal of the club is to select a genre or book series and invite fans to come together to talk about favorite characters, themes, plot twists and more.

First up is the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Fans will discuss one book each week. The first title was discussed last week and the remaining books will be discussed at 3:30 p.m. on March 3, 10, 17, 24, 31 and April 14.

On the last day, the club members will vote on a Harry Potter movie to watch at a finale scheduled for April 28. Getting to each club meeting is not required and members are encouraged to attend as many as they can. These are drop-in sessions, so no pre-registration is required.

See the Teen Events page at www.scarboroughlibrary.org, or call 883-4723, ext. 3, for more information. All eight sessions are free and open to the public.
