This is a club for all those who love Magic the Gathering! Bring your own Magic the Gathering commander format* deck to battle and destroy your friends and strangers! The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. The deck must have 100 cards, including your commander and power level 8 and under decks recommended. Time to devour your enemies!

In the basement of the library, there lived the Baggins’ Birthday Bash! Bring the family and celebrate the birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo with a showing of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), 2 hours 50 minutes, rated PG-13. While it may be a few days after their actual birthday of September 22, we’re operating on wizard time, partying precisely when we mean to. Come in your favorite garb (quite optional!) and take your photo in the Shire, make a Hobbit-themed craft, and enjoy a baked potato bar and birthday cake. Teens and adults are encouraged to register early to secure your spot in this adventure.
