The Cosmos is calling MIIS tabletop gamers to the library on October first!  From 7-9 PM, Joelle will be running Cosmic Encounter, the game that pits space alien against space alien in a struggle for galactic domination.  Aliens from each universe have unique powers that help them to make (or break) alliances, negotiate deals, and defend their home planets against would-be conquerors.  Will you play the gigantic Macron, for whom one ship counts as four?  Is the cunning Spiff more your style, who has the power to crash land when the battle goes against them?&nbsp

A book club to discuss the book “More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI” by John Warner

Join us for the first tabletop game event of 2025 in the Munras Dorms!  Learn a new game or play one of your favorites.  Games will be provided by MIIS Library but you’re encouraged to bring your own if you have them.  Free food and nonalcoholic beverages will be available.  You don’t have to live in the dorms to play … we will let you in!

Learn a new tabletop game by playing it with the creator! Steve Zmak will be at the library on December 5th to teach Z Photo Game™. It is a card-based board game that engages higher-order thinking and storytelling skills, using a deck of 209 beautifully printed color photographs. Imagine that you and your friends are fine art photographers competing for gallery space and recognition or exhibit curators struggling to host a popular and meaningful art show.
