Teen D&D 01/11 & 01/25:
Have you ever wanted to go on a quest to defeat a dragon? Teens, 12-18, can join us January 11 and 25 to learn how to play “Dungeons and Dragons.” For those teens who have never played, on Saturday, Jan. 11, from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Computer Lab, teens will create their characters. Teens must have a Gmail or Twitch account in order to create a character. On Saturday, Jan. 25, from 12 to 5 p.m. in the Main Auditorium, teens will participate in a D&D campaign with their created characters. If a teen has played before, they still need to stop at the Reference Desk for character guidelines before Jan. 11, then turn in their completed characters by that date. Whether a teen has played before, or is just beginning, all are encouraged to attend both sessions. Food will be provided on January 25, and new participants will receive a free set of dice to play with and take home. Space is limited to twelve participants and two alternates. Registration is required. To sign up, stop by the Information Desk at the Main Library or call 330-821-2665, ext. 211.
