STEUBENVILLE — Children will soon have the opportunity to enter a pallet castle when the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County offers the Enchanted Library during an upcoming First Fridays on Fourth celebration.

The Enchanted Library will be offered from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Sept. 5 along Fourth Street in downtown Steubenville.

The one-night only activity will allow guests to step inside the pallet castle and journey through genres in an interactive, story-themed adventure.

Participants will explore wizarding halls, a whimsical garden, a time machine and a pirate’s lair — that is, if they can find their way out.

The exploration is free of charge and an interactive event created for all ages. When the clock strikes 11, however, it will be gone for good, organizers commented.

“We would love for everyone to come and experience the magic before the story ends,” officials said.

The library has announced its additional events and activities that will be held at area library branches during the week of Aug. 31 through Sept. 6.
