We had the best time celebrating Back to Hogwarts Day at the library this afternoon! First, we were sorted into houses at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry (Hufflepuff came out on top with the most new admits!), then we potted Mandrakes, created owl companions, customized wizard robe bookmarks, participated in the Triwizard Tournament scavenger hunt, and tasted some delicious treats from the trolley cart! Thank you to everyone who participated. We hope you had a magical time!
