Librarian's Corner
Late April 2024
I enjoy games, though I don’t get to play as often as I’d like. I participate in our weekly Cribbage group offered at the Library, but that’s just one game, and there are so many others out there to enjoy. In addition to being the place for books and DVDs, think of us as your one stop fun location!
If you like playing Cribbage, or Mah Jongg, come check out our weekly groups for those games! Cribbage meets on Wednesdays from 2-4, and Mah Jongg meets on Mondays and Fridays from 1:30-4:30.
If board games are more your style, stop by for our monthly Game Nights, usually on a Tuesday from 5-7. (This month on April 16th; next month on May 14th.) Our Game Nights are open to teens as well. It’s a great chance to meet up with other folks and have some fun playing the board games that you love. If you’ve got a favorite at home that you want to share, bring it along! (As long as it’s not too complicated to learn…we only have a couple hours, after all.)
If you don’t have one you’d like to bring, not to worry—the Library has a great selection of games to choose from! Many of our games are even available to check out, if you want to bring them home to share with other family and friends. We’ve even got games for kids, if you want to have a family game night at home.
If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, we even have a small selection of party games that can be played on the Library’s Nintendo Switch. Video games are definitely a different experience, but can still be a fun way to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.
And if anyone is interested in learning about Dungeons & Dragons, let me know—that’s another particular favorite of mine, and something else I do every week. I’d be very excited to get a Library D&D game started.
If your idea of fun is more of a quiet, at home by yourself activity, don’t forget that the Library has a large selection of puzzles available for checkout. We have puzzles for all ages, everything from 100 pieces to 1,000 pieces. We always have one puzzle available for folks to work on when they visit the Library, too!
Come have fun at the Library!
