Pokémon GO Day at the Library!

Teens: You're invited to one last hurrah before school starts... Monday, 8/29, is Pokémon GO Day! Head to the Teen Department to grab a Pokédex and go on a scavenger hunt throughout the Library. Which wild Pokémon will you find? Record and submit your sightings between 11 am and 4 pm and win prizes (while supplies last)!

Also: - Grab some Pokémon coloring pages and color away! - Check out Pokémon 3D printing in the uCreate Space. - Pokémon GO players: Did you know that the Library is a pokéstop? We'll be dropping a lure every half hour between 11 am and 4 pm. Stock up on items and see what you can catch. Then, take on one of the area gyms! - Get your picture taken with Pikachu! Share your pikapic on social media with the hashtag #StratLibStop and we'll feature our faves! - The celebration concludes with pokécake in the Lobby at 4 pm.

Pokémon GO players: Are you on a quest to be the very best, like no one ever was? Then you probably need to stock up on pokéballs, potions, and revives. Visit the Library while you're out and about -- we're a pokéstop! Keep your eyes peeled while you're here... You never know if any wild pokémon might appear in the stacks. Happy Pokémon-ing!

This 3D-printed stormtrooper -- made by our Cube 3 3D printer -- is a cape away from being the villainous Captain Phasma herself!

Join us again this Mon., 4/18, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in Teen Services, for another demo!
