2026-10-17 14:00 - 16:30 | Valley Community Library, 739 River St., Peckville, PA, 18452, United States
In the game of Dread, rather than roll dice when characters take risky actions, a block is removed from a tower and placed upon the top. When the tower collapses, the character… leaves play. We’re going to explore an intense horror RPG where your genre savviness cannot save you from the darkness that is to come. The only question becomes; can you beat the tower?

Danger Club: Apple Oxidation
2026-10-14 18:00 | Lackawanna County Children’s Library, 520 Vine St., Scranton, PA, 18509, United States
Ever wonder why apples turn brown after they’ve been cut open? It is called oxidation, and it is the same process that causes metal to rust when it gets wet! There are ways to slow down this process though, and the Danger Club is going to experiment to see if putting apple slices in some different solutions will slow down oxidation. While we are waiting for our apples to turn brown (or not!) we will taste a variety of types of apples and tally up our favorites.
For children in grades 4 through 6.
