Tabletop RPG Meetup

Wednesday, October 7, 3:00pm

The Silver City Public Library will host a Tabletop RPG meetup on Wednesday, October 7, 3:00pm, for anyone interested in forming groups to play storytelling games. Examples of such games include Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, FATE, and Vampire: The Masquerade. Kids, teens, and adults are all welcome, players and GMs alike; games can be adapted to all skill levels and interests, beginner to veteran, pacifist to dungeon crawler! This meetup session will serve as a place to form groups, select rules systems, and begin your character design for the story your group will tell. The library is located at 515 W. College Avenue in Silver City. GMs are especially welcome, as they are always in short supply. The library has a potential GM for a group that lacks one, but we only have one! Come on by and see if you can find a story you want to tell!

Crafts with SASS

Next session:
Tuesday, October 13, 3:00-5:00pm

Drop into the library to make amazing crafts to take home! All supplies provided, thanks to the Silver Regional Sexual Assault Support Services Child Advocacy Center.

Minecraft Club

To be scheduled

Drop in for Minecraft Club! We play on X-Box and laptops.
We have a shared Realm where we can play together. Contact Lillian if you have an interest in joining the Realm without visiting the library building. This event is geared to ages 6-12.

Teen Services

The library’s “Teen Cave” has computers with internet and office programs, an X-Box, and a Playstation 4. Game console controllers can be borrowed in the building using a library card.

All computers in the Teen Cave are now equipped with Krita and GIMP. Krita is a painting software for making digital art while GIMP offers image manipulation, from small retouches to complex projects. This new software lets you get inspired and get creating.
