Okay, time for a mini math lesson.  So what happens when you have a library and you add a little card, plus a little gaming, and sprinkle it with ultimate? 

Yep.  You guessed it. 

Ultimate Card Gaming!

Tuesday night at 5:30 at the Fairmount St. Library teens will gather to play Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh, Pokemon, and whatever other cards they bring. 

All teens are welcome to join in the fun! 

Wait, better check my math to be sure:

library + card + gaming x ultimate = Ultimate Card Gaming!

Looks right.  Phew.  One more thing is that starting this summer we will be hosting Ultimate Card Gaming EVERY SATURDAY from 3-5. 

Please try to contain your excitement.

Ultimate Card Gaming for Teens!
 
The teens at Davenport Public Library have spoken. “We want card games!” they cry. And card games they shall have at the newest teen program, “Ultimate Card Gaming.” This unique group will meet the third Tuesday of each month, March through May, at 5:30 pm, at the Fairmount Street Library (3000 N. Fairmount Street).

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Teens will play the latest and greatest card games, like “Magic: The Gathering” and “Yu-Gi-Oh.” These card games require analytical and social skills that will help the player defeat their opponent.

Magic The Gathering

The Davenport Public Library is a safe and fun place for teens to hang out. Attracting hundreds of teens each year, the library is reaching out to its younger community, creating lifelong library users. This type of program is one way to get teens interested in reading and utilizing the resources their public library has to offer.
