March Game Night March 11 is the next Game Night and the library is going to be trying a few new things. What you ask? Come and find out. Some of the donations from last game night has been used to purchase some food and drink... if the donations continue, the better the "banquet". 2010 Teen & Tween Game Nights Thanks to your support, Game Night continues into the new year! Though we have had to cut back on some of the food and drinks, we still are providing a great environment for you to come and enjoy games and conversation with your friends! Unfortunately, due to budget cuts and similar financial problems, we have had to rely on the contributions and donations of participants of the game night. This doesn't mean we won't the games will stop. But some of the special stuff we do, like pizza, will be done on a "as we can afford to" basis. Your support and donations will helps keep these features and expand them in the future. Thank you for all of your support and participation! Game Night Meetings October 25, 2007 was the first Game Night held at the Warren Public Library. Originally held in the Young Adult Room with only 1 week and 5 laptops, the event attracted a total of 6 students. As of May 14, the Game Night is now held in the large, 3rd floor Slater Meeting Room with 2 Nintendo Wiis, 1 Nintendo GameCube, 2 Nintendo GameBoys, 10 Laptops borrowed from the Beckley Mobile Lab, and pizza and refreshments. It has been almost 2 years now and the participation has risen from anywhere to 20 to 60 students a night! Recently, the age average has also jumped up with the steady increase in high school students in attendance. But to keep the Game Night running, we need support of the community. In the past, there have been several attempts to make a "Teen Meeting" during the Game Night while everyone enjoyed the Pizza. There have been several topics, but the main ones that are continually discussed are:

You are welcome to bring any games and ideas to the event! Some of the ideas we have tried include:
