Percy Jackson Party

Saturday, May 9 from 10:30 a.m. to noon The Stratford Library Children’s Department will host a special party to celebrate the release of The Last Olympian, the fifth and final book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, created by Rick Riordan. This event will take place on Saturday, May 9 from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the Children’s Department. The program is free and open to all children 8 years and older.

In the first book, The Lightning Thief, readers meet Percy Jackson, who seems to be an average New York City kid until he learns his father is Poseidon, the Ancient Greek god of the sea. The other books in the series continue his adventures in a war between good and evil forces.

Activities at the party will include crafts, games, and Greek snacks. Copies of Mr. Riordan’s books will be available for reviewing and check out. Children are encouraged to dress as their favorite Greek character and will win prizes for their knowledge of Ancient Greece.
