I’m feeling a little out of touch this while writing this
from home at the end of a four-day weekend minus an afternoon impersonating a
strict librarian for the 2024 Scavenger Games on Saturday. For those who
remember, the wedding was lovely, I did decide on a hair style for the Games,
and I took my daughter and grandsons to the zoo on Monday. (Sorry, Mom. I’ll
call you tomorrow about the cataract surgery.)
What I do remember, is the plan to continue previewing fall
programming with this article. Last week was about the Serial Sampler book club
and Writer’s Workshop. This week will cover Pokémon Open Card Battles and
August’s upcoming 5th Thursday.
Pokémon Open Card Battles are scheduled for Mondays so they
seem like a good place to start. To be specific, they are scheduled for the 2nd
and 4th Mondays of each month. If that sounds familiar, it may be
because the Yarn & Stitch group meets on those mornings at 10:00 – 12:00.
The Pokémon group is scheduled for 3:00. We do understand that it takes some
time for students to make their way to the library after school. Drive safely
and arrive in one piece. All ages are welcome. All that’s needed to participate
are cards.
The other reasons the 2nd Monday may sound
familiar is that in last week’s article I mistakenly named that the day for the
Serial Sampler Book Club. The date I gave, September 16th is a
better indicator of what I meant as that’s the 3rd and correct
Monday of the month.
There was a Great Debate at the library regarding what to call
this program. The issue at hand centered on the number of formats Pokémon
takes: card game, augmented reality mobile game, video game, movie, stuffed
animals, graphic novels, etc. In this case, we do mean card game.
We were fortunate to select Monday night as that also
happens to be the day 2TO16 Games in Mukwonago is closed. Located in the small
strip mall on the corner of Rochester and Lake Streets in Mukwonago, 2TO16
Games offers open gaming for Pokémon as well as Magic the Gathering and board
games. Bryan has agreed to spend some of those days off, the 2nd and
4th of the month, at our program teaching participants new to the
game how to play.
As for the 5th Thursday in August, the published
weekly schedule names a different activity for the first four Thursdays of each
month this summer. August is the first month with five. This coming week we
will be showing a movie staring my mom’s favorite lasagna eating cat. That
starts at 3:00.
