My goodness.
June flew by and now we’re entering July –which is jam packed full of things to do and see!
First up, if you’re moving along with our Reading Logs, then you may be interested in picking up a Bingo Card each week as well! The bingo cards are fresh every week and available in paper and on Beanstack. They include some non-reading activities, like “Take a Walk” and “Take a picture with your pocket pal”. If you have NOT received a pocket pal for doing our general reading log, you can get one to start with your first bingo card. Black-Out Bingo Cards will also receive pocket pals as prizes. A single bingo will get you something out of our upgraded treasure chest.
Game Days are on Tuesdays, starting at 10:30 for the whole family. Our 14+ Game Nights kick off at 5 PM. These will be more ideal for those who want to play complex or competitive games that may require a little more set up or skill to play. However, our whole collection is available all day long if coming in earlier in the day works better for you! Staff (…well, me) can usually make time to play if you need an extra person!
