Join us on Zoom for a fun friendly night of trivia! Play solo, or with a team. Trivia questions will be read aloud and displayed in a slide show presentation in Zoom. No webcams or microphones necessary. Please note: While all ages are welcome, trivia questions are geared toward adults in content and challenge rating. Each player/team is responsible for scoring your own answer sheet, so be sure to have paper and pen ready! This is meant to be fun. All scores are on the honor system. Each team must designate a 'scorekeeper' who is responsible for submitting their team's score to the hosts via the Zoom chat at the end of each round. The host will tally the scores and read the standings aloud. Trivia teams can be in the same household, or in different households. If you choose to play with a team, you are responsible for determining ahead of time how your team will communicate with one another. Players will not be able to use the Zoom chat to communicate with one another. Instead, we recommend setting up alternate channels of communication (group text, Google Hangout, FaceTime, etc.) in order to pool team resources. Library staff will not be responsible for facilitating teams or team communications. If possible, have your team's name already chosen and ready before the program begins. No prizes are awarded, it's all just for fun! The meeting link along with more details will be sent to you after you are registered. Download Zoom ahead of time to avoid unnecessary delays. Questions? Email Justin at jacosta@burlingtonpl.org https://burlington.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/virtual-trivia-night-zoom-31/

Join us to discuss a speculative fiction book every third Wednesday of the month! We will be reading Someone You Can Build a Best In by John Wiswell. "Shesheshen is a shapeshifter, who happily resides as an amorphous lump at the bottom of a ruined manor. When her rest is interrupted by impolite monster hunters, she constructs a body from the remains of past meals: a metal chain for a backbone, borrowed bones for limbs, and a bear trap as an extra mouth. Badly hurt by the hunters, Shesheshen’s nursed back to health by Homily, a warm-hearted human. Homily is kind and would make a great co-parent: an ideal place to lay Shesheshen’s eggs so their young can devour Homily from the inside out. But as they grow close, Shesheshen realizes that eating her girlfriend isn’t an option. Just as Shesheshen’s about to confess her identity, Homily reveals something else: she’s hunting a shapeshifting monster that supposedly cursed her family. Has Shesheshen seen it anywhere?" Books will be available at the circulation desk and on Overdrive/Libby. Registration is only required if you'd like to receive updates about upcoming meetings. Questions?
