D&D at the Library will have multiple  games running simultaneously. Once one table is full (4-6 players), late arrivals should be prepared to join another table with an open seat.

This game day is for ages 8-13. Children under 8 may not be left alone in the library.

Registration is limited. Please include an email address and cell phone number when registering.
