CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Teens, are you tired of reality and want to enter a world of magic, monsters, and spectacular adventure? (Intrigued by the game the boys played in Stranger Things?) Then go to Wythe County Public Library on Wednesdays and enter the realm of medieval fantasy that is Dungeons & Dragons. Step into the boots of a mighty hero (or sneaky anithero), gather your team, and create your own story.
Snacks and drinks will be provided.

For those of you who don’t know…
Dungeons & Dragons is a roleplaying game about storytelling in worlds of sword and sorcery. It shares elements with childhood games of make-believe. Like those games, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing the towering castle beneath the stormy night sky and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents.

Unlike a game of make-believe, D&D gives structure to the stories, a way of determining the consequences of the adventurers’ action. Players roll dice to resolve whether their attacks hit or miss or whether their adventurers can scale a cliff, roll away from the strike of a magical lightning bolt, or pull off some other dangerous task. Anything is possible, but the dice make some outcomes more probable than others.

In the Dungeons & Dragons game, each player creates an adventurer (also called a character) and teams up with other adventurers (played by friends). Working together, the group might explore a dark dungeon, a ruined city, a haunted castle, a lost temple deep in a jungle, or a lava-filled cavern beneath a mysterious mountain. The adventurers can solve puzzles, talk with other characters, battle fantastic monsters, and discover fabulous magic items and other treasure.

This fundraiser will be taking place at 7 Dogs Brew Pub Please join us to help support some of our wonderful local veterinary care specialists on a worthwhile mission and have a great time doing it while painting this sweet Holidays inspired piece! Here is more information about the folks that will be going on this mission trip to serve pets and their owners in underserved communities out west!

Veterinarian – Dr. Rachelle Kopp Veterinary Technician Student – Jordan Sowers Veterinary Assistant – Jenna Mercer will all be volunteering their time in the year 2020 to help serve rural communities with veterinary mentorship. They will offer free veterinary services through a program called RAVS (Rural Area Veterinary Services) These communities are underserved and in geographic isolation, which makes regular veterinary care inaccessible. Fundraisers will help to provide traveling funds to reach the designated area where the services will be set to aide with veterinary assistance. Indian reservations in Arizona, North Dakota, and South Dakota are the current areas being served by RAVS.

Some books come and go, but there a few that do not go out of style. The ones with 18th century characters that 21st century readers can relate to. The ones that can change your perspective on history and humanity. The ones that have stood the test of time. These are the “classics.”

Classic Book Club members discover a different “Classic” author every month. Choose a book to read that was written by or about each month’s designated author. Then at the club meetings (every 2nd Thursday of the month at 10 am at Wythe County Public Library) we discuss the author and watch a film based on one of the author’s books.
