Boys and girls ages 9-12 and their adult chaperones (maximum 5 children per chaperone) will feel like they are actually at Hogwarts as they spend the entire night inside Central Library unlocking the many secrets of Harry and his wizard friends. Space is limited, so hurry! Registration is required and runs July 2-11. First-come, first-served. Call 314-539-0382 for registration details.

At midnight, settle in for some Harry Potter reading—or maybe even a little sleep.
