Guilderland Library Notes for Wednesday, November 13, 2013

Tweens and teens are invited to have a blast at International Games Day at the Guilderland Public Library on Saturday, Nov. 16, by learning games played by kids their age in other countries.

Tweens own from 11 am to 12:30 pm, when they’ll be able to toss some Angry Birds at our Bad Piggies’ fort, and play the XBox 360 version of MineCraft on the Helderberg Room’s big screen.  Then they’ll play games played by tweens in other countries, and test out some new board games.

The afternoon is time for teens from 1:30 to 3 p.m., when they can try a LARP? Wondering what in the world LARP is? Come give it a try during International Games Day at the library. Aye, Dark Overlord! is a live action role playing game that is a lot like Improv acting set in a fantasy world. Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can reduce any role playing group to hysteria.

Just let us know you’re coming. Call 456-2400, ext. 4 to play.

The Miserable Ones

Victor Hugo’s vast historic novel, transformed into a movie will make its library premiere as the Monday Matinee Movie showing on Nov. 18 at 2 p.m.

This movie captured the Academy Award for Best Motion Picture of the Year, and Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman won Academy Awards for their performances.  This is your best chance to witness the artistry and grandeur of this movie on the big screen. 

It’s a matinee, so naturally there’s free popcorn.  Come in and enjoy.
