If you feel the need to pick up your Harry Potter books and reread them in anticipation of the last movie making its way to theaters, you're not alone. According to Vicki Wood, youth services supervisor of the Lincoln City Libraries, everything Harry Potter has been checked out recently. The  books, audio books, books on CD and the DVDs of the movies have all been in high demand, most likely in anticipation of the last Harry Potter movie, Wood said.

"Customers have commented that they're reading the whole series because of the final movie coming out," she added.

The "Harry Potter" book series is a popular subject among library customers, which is why the library is holding a Harry Potter Day on July 20 at the Gere Branch Library. The Eiseley branch already did a Harry Potter Day in June that 527 people attended, Wood said.

During Harry Potter Day, children can make hats, wands, house crests, potions and disappearing ink, Wood said. The Nature Center will also bring an owl and a snake to the library, as well as a trivia game.

"People can wear costumes if they want, but there's not a costume contest," Wood said. "It's only if you want to wear one."
