Calling all school-aged Poké-Kids! ⚡🐹🔴

Come learn how to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game and use a Library-supplied deck to battle other players.

📅 2nd Sunday of Each Month
June 14
2-4pm, Ames Public Library

You can bring your decks to talk and strategize with other players, but card trading will not be allowed.

Don't want to play? Come to watch others, enjoy Poké-art activities, chat with other kids, and build a supportive community of friends! Kids ages 8 and under need to bring a caregiver along to help.
