Parents as well as the BOB teams should attend to get the latest facts about the new season. Team members and names (especially correct spelling) will be verified along with any scheduling conflicts. A very brief mock battle will be demonstrated so that newcomers can get an idea of the rules.
On Thursday, November 20, families are invited to participate in the state-wide Family Reading Night at 7 p.m. Kids can wear their pajamas and bring their favorite cuddling toy and/or blankie. Parents are encouraged to bring along a favorite book to read aloud. If a parent plans to do this, we request that they register online so Mrs. Clark has an idea of how many will be reading--and what. Or, call Youth Services at extension 268. Milk and cookies will be served.

use the game to try to set our benchmark record for the most number of people playing the same boardgame on the same day.Everyone is welcome to come to Youth Services to participate. The game is for ages "6 to 106".
Youth Services has chess and checkers games to play in the library, too. There is also a varied selection of board games available to play in Adult Services--from Battleship to Trivial Pursuit, and more.
