The month is half over, but there’s plenty of time to hang out at the library and meet new people while making an awesome craft, destroying the competition at trivia, and/or hunting for Pokemon! There will also be snacks.
Don’t forget to like us on Facebook for regular updates on more fun stuff to do.
This Friday night, there’s no better place to be than safe and dry in your houses. So as excited as we are about partying it up like a much less stabby version of the Dothraki, our Game of Thrones event has been postponed. But we thought we’d give you a taste of what’s in store.
Come joust with pool-noodle horses:
Come design your very own house crest and shield:
Come play trivia games, and win door prizes, and watch the awesome demos Baton Rouge’s own Society for Creative Anachronism is going to put on! It’s going to be amazing, no matter when it’s rescheduled to. Be there or be a White Walker.
Calling all Game of Thrones and Medieval fans! The Society for Creative Anachronism and your library are teaming up to provide a night of Game of Thrones activities NOT to be missed! The Society of Creative Anachronism will do fighting demos, period dancing, and leatherworking. There will also be foam jousting, make-your-own-house-crests, and passive trivia. Prizes will be awarded, and food trucks will be outside for those who wish to purchase dinner at this special, after-hours event.
Plan your month with EBRPL’s 20somethings crafts, games, and trivia programs!
Pokemon Go is one of the most fun things that’s hit the app store in a long, long time, and you can play too at almost all of our fourteen library branches.
These are just a few of the Poke Stops, and one of the Poke Gyms, that are within walking distance of the Main Library, most of which are located in the BREC’s beautiful Botanic Gardens:
(One of our librarians hit the one in the center already, which is very conveniently accessible inside the building. For context, the parking lot is over on the right, and the street on the left is Independence Boulevard.)
Carver Branch has set up a great display to welcome all new trainers to their gym, and it’s already attracting new Pokemon for the catching:
You can even use training to be a Pokemon master for good! Check it out:
We’ve heard reports of all kinds of rare Pokemon at all of our branches. They must like books, too. Come to the library to pick up some Pokeballs, catch some Pokemon, and who knows – you might catch some knowledge, too.
What better way to celebrate the near end of a long, long week than with a movie from your childhood? Check it out:
Do you like things? Do you want to talk about those things with other living humans? Do the humans in your life maybe not want to talk about the things you like as much as you do? At the library, you can meet loads of people who – well, let’s be real: they might not like the stuff you like. But they’ll definitely talk to you about it.
Here’s a list of all the pop culture and creative groups at the library that are just waiting for you:
