The Iola Public Library will bring in the Thanksgiving holiday with games aplenty next week.
The library is hosting Game Day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, with patrons of all ages invited to partake in any of 100-plus board games.
The games range from the classics, such as chess or Monopoly, to newer varieties like Wings and Scythe.
Free snacks and beverages will help make the day a party.
Players from ages 1 to adult are invited.
As an aside, the library checks out games and puzzles, including a growing collection of XBox One and PS4 video games for everyone ages 10 or older. Popular selections as “Divinity Original Sin 2” and “Bloodborne” are in the catalog.
Donations of gently used games are welcome.
THE LIBRARY, which is closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving, will continue its parent/child workshop series at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. Lindsey Shaughnessy of the Southeast Kansas Multi-County Health Department will discuss nutrition.
The program is part of the library’s free month-long series for parents and children ages 3 and under. The Nov. 29 session, on music and movement, will be the wrap-up.
Participants may pre-register by calling 620-365-3262.
Regular Monday night programs continue, with Chess Club at 6 o’clock and In Stitches crochet at 6:30.
