The Palliser Regional Library has been operating for 50 years, and the Moose Jaw Public Library (MJPL) and Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG) are teaming up with a Trivia Night to help celebrate.
On Friday, Nov. 17, from 7 to 10 p.m., the MJPL will host a literary trivia event that will test attendees on their knowledge of books, authors, poets, and more in a relaxed atmosphere. Tickets are $15 each through Eventbrite, with all proceeds benefiting the MJPL Summer Reading Program.
Arrive a bit early, as the doors will be locked at 7:30 p.m.
For Climate Action Week, taking place Nov. 4 to 10, the Library is running several free programs including ‘Sustainability Bingo’, an ‘I Love Earth’ Saturday program for kids (Nov. 4 ages 2 and up, at 10:30 a.m.), a climate-themed ‘zine workshop for ages 13 and up, and two workshops for adults that will feature guest speakers: an Eco-Anxiety workshop, and a presentation on Prairie Resiliency.
Another four-part mini-D&D campaign for ages 12 to 16 will capitalize on the game’s popularity in November, taking place every Tuesday night. A tabletop roleplaying game for ages 8 to 12 (registration required, featuring the game “Cats in High Places”) will take place Thursday, Nov. 23 from 4 to 6 p.m.
