This summer's MRV Libraries Adult Reading Bingo Game is now in full swing. Pick up a card at one of the three libraries and start reading. The only caveat is you can't count books you have read before summer began on June 20th. Once you land a bingo, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, turn your card back in and fill out your name and address on a raffle ticket. All bingo cards must be turned in before September 2nd at one of the libraries. In September, we will pull three lucky winners who will receive a $50 gift card at one of three local businesses. And if you want to take on a higher level challenge, fill the entire card and you will gain three raffle tickets. Of course, you can only use one book for each square. No double squaring!
Pub Trivia becomes Bistrot Trivia when we head to France for four rounds of "French Connection" trivia with the Mad River Valley Libraries! Bring a team to Déco Restaurant at Hostel Tevere on Thursday, August 1 for questions about food & drink, quadrennial sports competitions, literature, and more! We suggest you contact the restaurant at 802-496-9222 to reserve a table for your team.
LOOKING AHEAD.....
Beginning on Thursday September 19 – October 17 from 5-6:15 p.m., Susan Day, who has been touring the Italy for over 20 years (mostly by bicycle), will lead participants on a journey of the contemporary Italian countryside--with a bit of language thrown in. She’ll share information about the different geographic regions, and what makes them unique, particularly when it comes to food and wine. Participants will practice helpful words and phrases, laugh at themselves as they pronounce double constants and the Italian “r”, translate menus, and spend at least one session cooking. Ah presto!
