For December, we’re featuring The Quacks of Quedlinburg - a push-your-luck game of medieval quackery that won the 2018 Spiel des Jahres. Pull ingredients from your stock to make your pot bubble, but hopefully not explode!
Can’t make it? This recurring adult event (ages 16+) will be held in the Silver Creek Room on the 3rd Wednesday of each month.

- Come play in the Romper Room. Physical activity and human connections are important for healthy, happy human beings, and the Romper Room facilitates both!

The Romper Room is most engaging for ages 2-6 years, though younger/older kids are welcome. The Romper Room is always open during regular library hours. Drop-ins are welcome.
