GAME TIME UNPLUGGED

Submitted by Myra Wilson on Thu, 09/24/2009 - 5:53pm

Did you know that every Wednesday afternoon at 3:15 we go "old school" at La Porte Community Library? That is when we have Afterschool Game Time. You and your friends can play a selection of board games and find out who can dominate with the roll of the dice instead of a handheld controller. All are welcome to try their hand at checkers, chess, Monopoly or many more games. Join us.
