PLUG & PLAY

In May, the Tuesday Plug & Play virtual gaming meetup was attended by four people. After meeting on Discord, we moved to Board Game Arena and enjoyed games of Beyond the Sun and Splendor.

This month's Tuesday Plug & Play session is on starting at 5pm. Once again, we'll use Discord to communicate. Exact details, including the invitation to the library's JPL_Plug&Play Discord server, are below, in Upcoming Events. If you can't join right at 5, I hope you will still check in to connect with someone and play something. Please pop into the voice channel where we are gathered and say "Hi" so we know you are there. I hope you can join us!
GAME COLLECTION REPORT

In May, 21 games were checked out of the library.

DONATIONS
May donations included the games Pandemic, Exploding Kittens, and Draftosaurus, which were received from the Chien family, and the game Crows, received from Mike Magliocca, all of which will be added to the circulating collection (Draftosaurus is on display in the library as the Spotlight Game for June). Mike also donated Star Wars Imperial Aces and Star Wars Millennium Falcon miniatures which were added to the Unplug & Play programming collection, and a D&D starter set, which Teen Librarian Stephanie Markham hopes to use in future teen programs. Finally, the game Techno Witches was transferred from the Unplug & Play collection to the Circulating collection.

To see more about Circulating Games, go to Jervis Library's website, www.jervislibrary.org. Click on GAMES at the bottom of the page, then Game Collection at the top of the page. Circulating games are highlighted in yellow. To see the Unplug & Play collection, go to the bottom of the sheet and click "Unplug & Play."

LIBRARY OPEN!

The library is once again open without appointment! For now, masks must still be worn over mouth and nose by all who enter the building. New hours of operation are Mon-Thu 8:30-7:30, Fri 8:30-5:30, Sat 10-3 (the library will be closed on Saturdays for the summer, starting June 26).

That's all for this month. I hope to see you over the virtual game table this month, and over a REAL game table in the near future.
