Game Day Results- 2009

November 16, 2009 — librarian

The Macksville City Library was full of smiles on Game Day, Sat. Nov. 14th!  Eleven kids braved the cold in the name of FUN!   The computers were busy non-stop, and others had fun with games like: Othello, Charades, Twister, Scrabble Slam, Pictureka Card Game, and more.  A bowl of animal crackers kept the energy level high, and Tootsie Rolls and licorice were prizes for the participants.  Thanks to those that came and to the game companies that donated games: Hasbro, AlphaBound, and North Star Games.  If you missed Game Day, feel free to come play the games at the library year round!
