Community Calendar

Join us for role-playing adventure in Dungeons and Dragons and beyond! We will have short campaigns telling a complete story arc, with new sessions beginning every four weeks. No experience is required in any game system to play, and pre-made characters will be provided. If you want to bring your own character, however, you’re more than welcome to! Reach out for any specific requirements before the adventure begins. Dice, notebooks, and pencils are recommended but not required. Feel free to bring your own snacks!

Zoinks, gang! There's a Saturday Morning Mystery afoot! This month on Library Legends, we'll be playing The Mystery Business, a game that calls back to Scooby-doo and its many knock-offs of teens and their talking animal sidekicks getting the upper hand on adults dressing up in monster costumes. It's a little bit silly, but it's a whodunnit at its core, and the only TTRPG that actively wants to split the party, as what would one of those sorts of shows be without the gang splitting up? Is the swamp creature actually Old Man Henderson? Let's play and find out!

(Ages 18+)

Join us for our adult popular fiction book club, The Page Turners! Registration is suggested for new participants only. Be sure to include your email address to receive notifications and an invite to our Facebook page! Those attending the meeting are welcome to bring a snack.

For this meeting, we will discuss the book Fun For the Whole Family by Jennifer E. Smith. Summary: “The four Endicott siblings -- Gemma, Connor, Roddy, and Jude -- were once inseparable, a bond created by the absence of their dazzling, mercurial mother, who would return for a few weeks each summer to whisk them off on sprawling road trips around the country. Decades later, the unthinkable has happened: the Endicotts haven't spoken in years . . . until an out-of-the-blue text arrives from Jude, now a famous actress, summoning them to a small town in North Dakota. They're each at a crossroads: Gemma, who put her own ambitions aside to raise the others, now isn't sure if she wants to be a mother herself; Connor, a celebrated novelist, is floundering after his recent divorce and suffering from an epic case of writer's block; and Roddy, at the tail end of a professional soccer career, is dangerously close to losing his future husband for the chance at one last season. Jude is the only Endicott who seems to have it all together -- but appearances can be deceiving. As the weekend unfolds, and the siblings wrestle with their shared past and uncertain futures, they'll discover that Jude has been keeping three secrets . . . each of which could change everything."

Next month, we will discuss The Man Who Died Seven Times by Yasuhiko Nishizawa.
