“Mentalist” Erik Dobel, who uses psychology and trickery to create the illusion of psychic ability, will be the featured guest at a special program for teens ages 12 and up at 6:30 p.m. on July 25 in the Community Room of The Jackson County Public Library in Sylva.

He can’t really read minds, but it sure seems like he can.

 This event is part of the Summer Reading Program for teens, called Own the Night. Dobell’s performance is aimed at children over the age of 12.

Attendees are advised that the library itself closes at 6 p.m. on Wednesdays and will not be open during the program.

The Friends of the Jackson County Public Library is co-sponsor of this program. For more information or questions call the Jackson County Public Library in Sylva at 828.586.2016.
