Celebrating Harry Potter's Birthday!

Greetings, Witches, Wizards, and Muggles of Edgewater!

Today is a day of magic and wonder as we celebrate the birthday of “The Boy Who Lived,” Harry Potter! Born on July 31, Harry’s adventures have captivated our imaginations and brought the wizarding world into our hearts.

The seven fantasy novels by British author J.K. Rowling chronicles the lives of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

If you haven’t entered Harry’s magical world, you only need to wave your library card to take out books, audiobooks, and E-books in English, Spanish, French, German, and other languages. There’s also a wizard’s world of books about Harry Potter, videos, and music. HP Foreign Language | HP English

As we recognize this special day, we invite you to embark on a magical journey of your own by joining Friends of the Edgewater Library. In doing so, you’ll support our library, ensuring it continues to be a haven for young witches and wizards seeking their next great read. We also conjure up spellbinding programs for all ages to keep the magic alive in our community.

So, don your robes, grab your wands, and join us in making Edgewater Library as magical as the wizarding world itself.

Happy Birthday, Harry Potter!
