WEST COBB REGIONAL LIBRARY HAVEN FOR GAMES AND ART
As May marks the end of the school year, West Cobb Regional Library hosts board\table games and creative events for the month—aside from Storytimes; the Pokémon Club; the educational program, Homeschool Curiosity and Creativity: Migratory Birds; and the Backyard Chicken Keepers’ Club.
NOTE: The Pokémon Club has changed from weekly to monthly, beginning this May.
Maintaining a staple of games (e.g. chess, mahjong), West Cobb Regional Library continues to reserve Saturday afternoons for Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, between 2:30 and 4:30 PM. This games event is for players who are 18+ years of age. Contact the library at the number below about joining a group; or join the D&D Discord server here.
Younger players of D&D (12+) may participate in the monthly, level 1, teen and adult Dungeons and Dragons One-Shot Wednesday. Occurring on the second Wednesday of May, this games event is scheduled for the 13th at 5:30 PM and will run until 7:30 PM. By indication of the event title, its occurrence, and the limited space for it, D&D One Shot Wednesday is the “training ground”. This said, registration is required by email.
Learn more about D&D here.
Some of the creative events scheduled at West Cobb Regional Library are:
- Fearless Art, Saturday, May 9th at 1:30 PM
(Tween and Teens [9-15] Only)
- Writer’s Open Mic Night, Wednesday, May 20th at 6:30 PM
- Tea & Talk, Thursday, May 21st at 2:00 PM
