This Week at the Library

This week at the Library, you can join us at:

Tabletop Games – Monday, Dec. 18, 6 – 7:45 p.m.

Join us at the Gardner Library for a fun-filled event with family and friends and become a part of the Johnson County tabletop gaming community. Discover new games from our collection or bring your personal favorite to share – you might get creative with a round of Dixit, collaborate to escape the Forbidden Island or strategize your way to victory as King of Tokyo! Come and go as you please. Refreshments are provided.

American Girl Book Club – Tuesday, Dec. 19, 6 – 7 p.m.

Kids love to read and this book club at the Cedar Roe Library helps kids learn more about important moments in American history. American Girl offers many character stories exploring historical perspectives from a girl’s point of view. Join this group to read and craft with some new friends. Participants will get a free book while supplies last. Stop by the desk to pick-up your book. Best for ages 8-12; all kids are welcome. Tonight’s feature is American Girl Book Tasting.

Open Mic – Friday, Dec. 22, 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

Johnson County Library is teaming up with Bear Necessities Coffee Bar (9609 W 87th St, Overland Park, KS 66212) to bring you an Open Mic from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on the fourth Friday of every month. Bring poems, short stories, essays and excerpts to share on the stage, or come just to listen. We’ll feature readings from our contest winners and the rest of the time is for you. Sign up at the event; three-minute limit.
