6/6/13 - There will be no flying involved, but that won't stop the University of Michigan Quiddich Team from giving a presentation and holding a game for local teens at the Brighton Library this month. Quiddich began as a fictional sport played on flying brooms in the Harry Potter book series, but it has since been adapted into a real sport at more than 300 colleges and high schools around the world. The University of Michigan team was founded in 2010 and pays visits to communities to demonstrate and promote the sport. They will visit the Brighton District Library on Tuesday, June 18th to teach local teens aged 11 through 18 about real-life Quiddich, demonstrate how it is played, and let the local kids give the game a shot in a live match. The Quiddich demonstration is just the first in a planned series of teen-oriented events that will be put on for free by the library as part of its Summer Reading Program. There is no cost to participate, but the library does ask teens to register. For more information, follow the link below. (TD)
