Calling All Scrabble Enthusiasts
If you’re looking to challenge your mental acuity and have some fun at the same time, visit the Charlton Public Library for a stimulating game of Scrabble.
The Friends of the Charlton Library invite you to stop by the second and fourth Tuesday of each month from 6:00 to 7:45 p.m. to test your Scrabble skills. Those new to the game as well as veterans are encouraged to join the game. Six Scrabble dictionaries are available to kickstart some ideas when consonants outnumber vowels.
A Scrabble tournament is tentatively planned for the fall. Additional details will be released during the summer.
For more information, please stop by or call the library at 508-248-0452
