Game Face ON!

Are you a trivia buff, do you know a little about everything, or are you a collector of odd facts? This July take part in weekly tween trivia (ages 9-12) challenges!

A different topic of knowledge will be explored each week (fictional characters/pop culture/beyond the book) and prizes will be awarded to registered participants. All you need is paper, a pencil, and your brain! Registration is required for each individual session to receive a private Zoom link.
