Pi Day

Teens, ages 12-18, can celebrate National Pi Day with all things pi/pie on Saturday, March 14, from 3 to 4 p.m., in Rodman Main Auditorium.

National Pi Day is a celebration of the mathematical term Pi (π) since the first digits of Pi are 3.14. Stop by for a fun-filled afternoon. Participate in a blind taste test of pie ingredients – that leads up to a pie eating competition. The winner of the pie eating contest will be awarded a prize.

No registration is needed for this event. For more information, call 330-821-2665, ext. 214.

After-hours Nerf Night

Teens, ages 12-18, are invited to join us at the Main Auditorium on Thursday, March 12, from 5 to 7 p.m., for an after-hours, Nerf Challenge event.

Teens are allowed to bring their Nerf weapons that follow the guidelines of the program. Guidelines include: Nerf weapons must be original colors (no paint or tape can obscure Nerf markings), the tips of the Nerf weapons cannot be tampered with in any manner, and all Nerf weapons will be tested before play. We reserve the right to ban any Nerf weapons deemed un-acceptable. There will be a limited number of Nerf weapons on hand to use as well. Limited to 30 participants. Registration is required.

Do you have Nerf weapons not being used but don’t want to just throw them away? Consider donating them. The Teen Department at the library is accepting gently used, working Nerf weapons for use at future Teen Nerf Challenges. To register or for more information, call 330-821-2665, ext. 211, or go online at http://rodmanlibrary.evanced.info/signup.
