Join us every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon for a fun and friendly game of American Mahjong—a blend of skill, strategy, and a little bit of luck! Please note: 🌟 Prior experience is required, as we do not currently have an instructor to teach the game. 📋 Due to the popularity of this program and limited space, registered players are guaranteed a spot at the table. 🚶♀️ Walk-ins are welcome to check in at the start of the session, but space may not be available once tables are full. ⏰ If you arrive more than ten minutes after the program begins, you may need to wait until the next round to join. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make this program enjoyable for all players! 📞 To register, call 708-479-9663 or visit our online events calendar at www.mokenalibrary.org

Book Club
Event Details:
The Adult Book Discussion Group began in March 1998. We remained a small group for a long time, but have picked up more members so we now have a core group of over twenty. We welcome anyone who wants to join, for one discussion or regularly. Book selections vary; we try to switch around to keep it interesting and to broaden our horizons. We’ve read fiction and non-fiction, light stories and dark, popular titles and little-known ones. The group meets year-round, the third Thursday of the month, 7:00—8:30 p.m. The library keeps extra copies of the upcoming book to check out at the adult circulation desk, so if you’re interested in joining our discussion, just ask at the desk for a copy of the Adult Book Discussion Group book, or contact Carol Tracy at the reference desk or via email at ctracy@mokena.lib.il.us. Please see the attachment for a full list of the year's books.
