SPLAT FACTS - SUMMER 2015, including Cookbook Club and Thieving Forest information

Thursdays, 3 to 4:30.  S.P.L.A.T. starts June 18 and runs through July 30. (There are no SPLAT meetings in August until school starts.)

Every Thursday, after the group activity, there will be time to play on the Library’s tablets (Minecraft PE), Wii, PS2, Game Cube and board games, plus you can play each other with card games or 3DS, etc. that you bring yourself -­ YuGiOh can be a weekly event, if you want. Each week you will get 50 points for participating in the group activity.

You need 500 points to be eligible for Library Lock In, so just coming to SPLAT every week will get you a total of 350 points. ­ You can get the rest of the points by completing the other activities scheduled for individuals or small groups at the weekly SPLAT or by joining the Reading Rules!! program .

The Library Lock In will be Friday, July 31. I haven’t decided on the hours yet.

There will be a Log for each person to keep track of the extra points for extra activities. Reading Rules!! has its own Log.
