Reading Club Day

At the annual "Reading Club Day" event held on May 15, 2007, library staff asked 5th graders to vote on their favorite childhood picture book. They also asked them to guess which Harry Potter character would die in the upcoming book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." (There are many rumors that two characters will die in the new book.) This event was sponsored by Columbia Public Schools.
