Have a favorite genre/theme and need book recommendations? At the start of each month we will post a poll and you pick which genre/theme you like best! Then at the last Friday of the month we will recommend 3 books based on that genre/theme in a short video!   Sponsored by Aurora Public Library.

Join us for a fun community game night! This is the teen session, for grades 6-12. We'll be playing Linkee, a fun trivia game where the answers to four questions are actually hints to a final answer. The first person to guess the connection wins the round! It is strongly recommended that you have a way to transmit audio for this event (a computer microphone or a smartphone with a good connection) because playing using only chat is difficult.

Take a break mid-week and work on a community jigsaw puzzle with other adults. We’ll be using the website jigsawpuzzles.io to work on the same puzzle together as a group, plus you can relax and chat with folks over audio chat. It’s a safe way to socialize and decompress!

You'll need a computer or tablet that can load jigsawpuzzles.io in order to participate, as well as a smartphone or a computer with a microphone to use voice chat. This event will be focused on audio interaction, so video is unnecessary and webcams aren't needed.
