Children's Library Events: Spelling Bee; Harry Potter; Skateboarding Course

Among the  children’s programs this October will be a role-playing activity "Hogawarts Express."

Based on the beloved Harry Potter books, children — from fourth to the eighth grade — will have the opportunity discuss the books and participate in team building activities.

“It’s a combination between physical activities and mental activities,” said Kate Brennan-MacGregor of Lakewood Public Library.

In addition to this event, which will take place each Wednesday, Oct. 5 through Nov. 16, there are upcoming many other opportunities for children to enjoy programming at the Library.

The following is a list of a few of them. For further information on upcoming events, visit the library's website. 

• Lakewood Public Library Spelling Bee: The preliminary rounds are either October 6, 13 or 20 at 4 p.m. The competitor meet and greet is October 27 at 4 p.m. And the championship is November 4 at 7 p.m. Come see if you’re the best speller in Lakewood. Register now.
• Tail Waggin’ Tutors: The best way to practice reading is by reading…to a dog. Well, that’s not entirely true, but it could be fun. Come do so on October 8 at 11 a.m. in the main library’s Multipurpose Room.
• The Science of Skateboarding: will be a fun event combining the popular sport with the physics behind it.  It will take place on October 14 at 6:30 p.m. in the Multipurpose Room
