The Childrens Librarians of the Oceanside Public Library are planning a different approach to Halloween this year. Instead of the usual ghosts, pumpkins, and black cats, the Childrens Program Room at the Civic Center Library will be transformed into the Shrieking Shack made famous in the Harry Potter series. Library staff dressed as Hogwarts professors, ghosts, and Dementors will combine storytelling and acting to create an interactive program with the audience. Children in grades 3 through 8 will be first year students trapped in the Shrieking Shack by Dementors, as Hogwarts professors and resident ghosts share the scary history of the school with tales of local ghosts and witches. The students will escape after a lesson in fortune telling and palmistry and then enjoy a feast of chocolate frogs and other tasty treats. Students are welcome to dress as Harry Potter characters or in Halloween costumes.
This free program will be held Monday, October 27 at 6:30 p.m. in the Childrens Room of the Civic Center Library, 330 North Coast Highway in Oceanside. Attendance is limited to children who are currently in grades 3 through 8. Free tickets may be picked up at the Childrens Desk of the Oceanside Civic Center Library. For more information, please call (760) 435-5590.
