OREGON TRAIL LIVE: ADULTS & TEENS 14+

Dysentery, rattlesnakes, and drowning, oh my! There’s so many ways to die when you play Oregon Trail. The library invites you to gather up a party of explorers to brave these dangers in this interactive version of Oregon Trail, moving about the room as you gather supplies in hopes of surviving these calamities. Everyone is encouraged to dress up and get into character, and we don’t mind if that character doesn’t quite fit the time period (we’d love to see Luke Skywalker fight off rattlesnakes). Remember – even if you die, you’ll have fun decorating your tombstone! This program takes place Wednesday, October 14 at 5-6PM.

WRITERS’ MOTIVATIONAL GROUP

A writers’ group where members discuss writing, encourage one another, share short pieces, and respond to writing prompts. This program is for adults only. We meet from 4:00-5:00pm on second Thursdays, September 10, October 8, and November 12.

BOOK CLUB FOR ADULTS

The Vicksburg District Library’s Book Club for Adults meets on the first Thursday of the month from 9:30 – 10:30am. Our October meeting will be on November 5. Newcomers are always welcome. However, Book Club for Adults is for adults 18+ only. For our November meeting, we will read and discuss “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen. Participants are invited to bring up to three book suggestions for Book Club to read in the coming months. We will vote during the November meeting.

SCRABBLE CLUB

Play the board game Scrabble with other adults at the library. All skill levels are welcome! Scrabble Club meets on Tuesdays, September 8, October 13, & November 10 from 1:00-2:30pm.

BOOK BOXES FOR ADULTS

Book Boxes contain books based on personalized recommendations from criteria that you specify, all inside a box with treats: salty, sweet, and a little surprise. Registration is limited to 5 boxes per month. Registration for Book Boxes is now open and will remain open through October 15. Follow this link to sign up for your Box!

How Book Boxes work: Book Boxes are for adults 18+ only. You tell us your reading preferences – what you’re looking for and what you’re not looking for – and you’ll get a box with three surprise library books and some treats. The books and boxes are checked out like any other library book and returned on their due date.
