Let’s play Mah Jonng on Fridays at 1:00 PM!
If you already know how to play Mah Jongg, come join the fun!
Experience levels are welcome to join us in this strategy-based (plus a bit of
luck) game. Registration is required so
please use the online calendar or give us a call.
Cozy up in the meeting room of the library, share some laughs, and
make some new friends. Studies have shown that Mah Jongg is a great game for
keeping the mind sharp – we can all benefit from that!
Mah Jongg, a fun rummy-like game, is played with tiles rather than
cards. There are many different versions of Mah Jongg all around the world. We
play American Mah Jongg and follow the rules as defined by the National Mah
Jongg league. One of the main differences is that American Mah Jongg uses an
annual card of Official Standard Hands and Rules, against which all games are
played. These cards are available from the National Mah Jongg League and you
will need to bring yours along to use while playing.
*If you are reading this and would like to learn how to play Mah
Jongg, keep your eye on the Library’s calendar as we plan to offer a “How to
play Mah Jongg” learning session in the Spring of 2022 and at that time you are
welcome to sign up to learn.

BOOK DISCUSSION: The book of the month for December is
'We Were Liars' by E. Lockhart.
A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political
boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship
turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.
Read it.
And if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.
