Have you ever wanted to experience what it is like to graduate from a magical school? That is exactly what happened last week when the Calhoun County Library partnered with the Calhoun County High School to support their special literacy night.
On Thursday, November 16, 2023, from 6 PM – 7:30 PM, CCHS hosted a Harry Potter Escape Room Literacy Engagement Night. This event involved students coming into the school’s library and participating in a digital escape room. The objective was to graduate from Hogwarts, and puzzles were difficult and encrypted. With answers being such things as the core of Harry Potter’s wand, I think we were all thinking it was going to be easier than it was. Although no one was able to finish this digital escape room and graduate, the good news is that everyone is able to continue their journey, for free, whenever they want.
In addition to the activity, there was a catered Harry Potter Hogwarts-inspired meal. Accio food! We had Gilly Water and homemade Butterbeer (does not have alcohol) to drink. For dinner, there was baked chicken, mashed potatoes, fried zucchini straws, vegetables, and rolls. No meal would be complete without dessert and we had brownies and fresh fruit.
The Calhoun County Library gave out many copies of J.K. Rowling’s book The Ickabog and other fantasy related works of fiction thanks to the generous donations from Save the Children.
We would like to thank the Calhoun County High School for inviting us to this very fun event and for everyone who came out to escape with us. Let’s give it up to the graduating Hogwarts class of 2023!
