Retro Game Night brings a walkable/playable museum to your library!Players will be able to learn about how Nintendo started and see how the iconic console evolved to where it is today. All Nintendo systems from NES to Switch are available to play throughout the exhibit on old-school CRT TVs.
Join us for a special cinematic experience! Pianist Richard Hughes will take us back to a time when Nickelodeon theatres showed black & white flickers to the accompaniment of live piano. After an introductory talk about silent movie mood music, Richard will provide live piano accompaniment to a screening of The Cameraman, starring Buster Keaton.
