| Registration Required. For Ages 6 -11 | Practice your listening, reading, & comprehension skills while playing a game! It’s Literacy Through Play! This 5 week program will focus on the 1995 Role-Playing Game, Chrono Trigger, and have them tackle topics like how a story is structured, what story themes are, and the Hero’s Journey. Children will be tasked in helping make story decisions, guiding where our characters go, and managing conflict. Children will NOT be directly engaging with the gameplay. Rather they will be working together to make decisions for the presenter to execute. The ability to read MOST words independently is essential for this program as children will be asked to read passages encountered in the game. Prior knowledge of the game is not necessary. Sign up ONCE below for the whole 5 weeks. 3/2, 3/9, 3/16, 3/23, & 3/30     Some more info on Chrono Trigger Originally released in 1995 on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Chrono Trigger is a RPG classic. It has been 1000 years since the founding of the the kingdom of Guardia and to celebrate a special “Millennium Fair” is hosted. The joyous festivities are cut short when the Princess of Guardia, Marle, is sucked through a time portal. A teen villager, Crono, voluntarily follows Marle through the portal to try and save her and finds himself stranded in the distance past. He must go on a quest to save Marle and along the way will uncover a dark prophecy of a world-destroying monster that forces him to  embark on an epic quest across eras—from prehistoric times to a dystopian future—to prevent global annihilation. Along the way a diverse cast of companions will aid Crono and Marle as they travel through time.  Can they set history straight? Will they stop the monster, Lavos? And what is the Chrono Trigger?

Join us for a virtual conversation with Dana Stabenow, to celebrate the release of her new book, The Harvey Girl. From the award-winning author of the Kate Shugak Mysteries, a thrilling new detective series set during America’s wild boom time of the nineteenth century.WELCOME TO THE GILDED AGE. WHERE NOT EVERYTHING GLITTERS. 1890. The New Mexico Territory is a lawless frontier where criminals steal money and land alike with impunity. Everyone wears a six-gun and is ready and willing to draw it. In the new city of Montaña Roja, Fred Harvey’s growing empire is threatened by the robberies plaguing his newest Harvey House restaurant. To get justice, he needs a skilled detective to go undercover and procure answers to questions the law will not ask. The assignment falls to Clare Wright, a young Pinkerton agent. Disguised as one of Harvey’s famous hostesses, Clare travels west where she risks being exposed at every step of her investigation. To get answers – and to get out alive – there are only two things she can trust: her instincts, and her derringer. Dana Stabenow was born in Anchorage, Alaska and raised on a 75-foot fishing tender. She knew there was a warmer, drier job out there somewhere and found it in writing. Her first book in the bestselling Kate Shugak series, A Cold Day for Murder, received an Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America.  Follow Dana at stabenow.com Please register Zoom links will go out the day before the event
