For those who could not make it to the Hobbit Birthday Party on Saturday, September 18th, you truly did miss a good time. Luckily for you, our friends at the Indianapolis Star attended and took some great photos. Teens put on their imaginary hobbit hats for a lesson in writing their names in Elvish and then received a hobbit manicure and pedicure giving them “hairy” hands and feet. This was just the start of a good time as teens ventured throughout the Library looking for photos of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins, as well as an employee wearing a ring. Good times were had by all in attendance, especially when the party came to an end and the teens enjoyed a nine and a half pound chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse. The fun was nearly over, but the teens were not permitted to leave until they learned how hobbits celebrate their birthdays: by not receiving gifts, but by giving gifts to their friends and loved ones. With full bellies and a small birthday present wrapped in brown paper, each teen left knowing a little more about hobbits than they did when they previously ventured into the Library.
The next big teen event is the Harry Potter Movie Release Party on Friday, November 12th, just a week before the movie’s much anticipated release. Registration is required for the Harry Potter program.
Cool idea! I liked the part of giving instead of receiving. :-)
