Tabletop Dungeons and Dragons session for children aged 10 to 13, using dice, miniatures and maps to tell a story together.
Dungeons and Dragons is back at Richmond Library on Tuesday, October 27, at 4:30 PM. It's a tabletop role-playing game built on imagination and teamwork: players gather around a table with dice, miniature figurines, maps, and rulebooks, and piece together an exciting story as a group. This session is aimed at kids aged 10 to 13, so it's a good one to keep in mind if you've got a middle-schooler who's into fantasy or just looking for a way to hang out with other kids their age.
It's part of the Free Library of Philadelphia's wider offering of more than 28,000 programs for all ages each year, so this is just one of many things they're running across the city. If your kid is new to the game, that's fine—the whole point is that the group builds the story together as they go, rather than needing to be an expert before you sit down.
Richmond Library itself has a long history serving the Richmond and Port Richmond communities. It started in 1897 as a 'Travelling Library' of 300 books kept in a flour and feed store on Richmond Street, open two nights a week. Protestant ministers rallied the neighborhood to establish a proper library, which moved to the second floor of the Mutual Hall Association at the corner of Richmond and Neff, now Indiana Street. The cornerstone of the current building was laid in 1908 thanks to a financial gift from Andrew Carnegie and a plot of land donated by Anne W. Penfield, who was reckoned at the time to be the wealthiest woman in America.
