Turn the page to a tale of fantasy and fun at Carrollton’s Enchanted Library on Friday, November 21 from 5-8 p.m. at Josey Ranch Lake Library (1700 Keller Springs Road).

Enchanted Library will offer a night of imagination and whimsy for all ages with free activities, games, crafts, and more. Attendees can craft a unique dragon egg or royal crown, enjoy face painting with magical designs, and embark on themed scavenger hunts for prizes.

Does your family have what it takes to escape wonderland? Delve into a fantasy-inspired escape room and solve puzzles to find your way back to the real world, just like Alice. Patrons can test if they’re a fantasy wizard by participating in trivia hosted by the Library’s Teen Advisory Council. From 5:30-6:30 p.m., visit with Glinda and Elphaba, who will arrive all the way from Oz for wicked photo opportunities.

Enchanted Library will also feature ticketed events. Attendees should plan to arrive before these activities begin to pick up tickets inside the Library. Choo Choo the Magician will put on an engaging and family-friendly magic show, featuring a live bunny, at 6:30 p.m. At 5:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m., teens and adults can join a role-playing game for a daring honey heist disguised as bears. Lastly, a local artist will host two sessions at 5:15 p.m. and 7 p.m. for teens and adults to learn how to create fantastical dragon sketches.

Fantasy and fairytale attire at the event is highly encouraged; all knights, princesses, witches, wizards, and everything in between are welcome.

“Enchanted Library is a celebration of everything that is magical and fantastical for all ages,” Melissa Neybert, Youth Services Librarian said. “It’s really taken off as the signature fall event for the Carrollton Public Library, and we invite everyone to bring the whole family to unlock the magic and enjoy.”

Snacks and craft materials will be provided for activities while supplies last. Enchanted Library will also be a sensory friendly event, with coloring, sensory toys, and noise-cancelling headphones available for children and adults to take a break if needed.
