HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM YOUR LIBRARY
BIG FUN PLANNED 
Life-Sized Gaming On Jan. 11
 
Rodman Public Library is planning a day of board gaming for teens on Tuesday, Jan. 11, and we’re doing it up big – as in life-size big.
 
Teens, ages 12-18, are invited to the Main Library from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. to play some classic games –- Checkers, Monopoly, Scrabble, Jenga, Trouble, and Yahtzee –- on a large-as-life scale.

In Monopoly and Trouble, teens will be the live game piece on a giant game board. In games that utilize dice, they will roll dice several times bigger than usual. And what’s better than a Jenga tower that’s as tall as you?

No registration is required and snacks will be provided. For more information, call 330-821-2665, ext. 217.
