"Growing up in the modest farmlands of Battle Creek, Michigan, Marjorie was inspired by a few simple rules: always think for yourself, never take success for granted, and work hard—even when deemed American royalty, even while covered in imperial diamonds. From serving the homeless of the Great Depression to entertaining Roosevelts, Kennedys, and Hollywood’s biggest stars, Marjorie Merriweather Post lived an epic life few could imagine. Participants ages 18+ are welcome to join in the discussion on Tuesday, Nov. 25th at 6pm in the Schafer Room.

Family Game Time November is International Game Month, a perfect time for families to take advantage of the wide-ranging collection of games in our Award Winning Toy Lending Library. Games help children learn patience, teamwork, and how to win and lose gracefully. Games also develop concentration, focus, and a wide range of cognitive skills. Playing games together, away from screens and other distractions is an ideal way to spend quality time with your family. We’re kicking off our celebration of Game Month with Family Game Time on Monday, October 27. Games from our collection will be available to play in Children’s Room. Make plans to join us and drop in anytime from 10:30-1:30. Additional Family Game Times will be held on Saturdays: November 1, 8, and 15 from 10:30-1:00.
