AFTER HOURS UNPLUG & PLAY 7/29

The library will hold an AFTER HOURS UNPLUG AND PLAY game session on Friday, July 29. The library will close at the usual time of 5:30pm—all patrons will have to exit the building—and the doors will reopen for games at 5:45pm and remain open until 6:15pm only. Games will be played in the main reading room until 8:15pm. No other library services will be available.

MAHJONG RETURNS 8/2

By popular demand, we'll repeat our program MAHJONG FOR BEGINNERS on Tuesday, August 2. There will be three Mahjong sets available (enough for 12 players) and we'll be using instructions for Chinese Mah-Jongg from the website sloperama.com (click here to see them) to teach the fundamentals. We'll talk about some of the differences between variants (American vs. Chinese, particularly) and you will learn the basics of setting up and playing this popular international game.

JUNE and JULY REPORTS

Unplug & Play
13 people attended the June Unplug & Play. Participants enjoyed games of Railroad Ink: Blazing Red edition, Terraforming Mars: Ares Expidition, Monopoly City, Bananagrams, Bohnanza, Ethnos, and Shu, an unpublished prototype game designed by Joe Kalynycz.

New Additions To The Circulating Collection
Recent additions to the collection include anonymous donations of the games 20 Questions, Trivial Pursuit: Bob's Burgers, and The Logo Board Game. The Chien Family donated the game 5-Minute Dungeon, and the game Chronology was moved from the Unplug & Play collection to circulating. The library now has 134 game titles available to be borrowed.
