Keiki ages 5-14 are invited to learn and play the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG). Cards will be loaned to newcomers. Experienced players are encouraged to join in and may bring their own cards (that should be marked to prevent them from being mixed up with another person’s deck).
We are accepting donations of new or old Pokémon Trading Cards. This program is thanks to a partnership with AASL/ALSC and the Pokémon Company.
All programs are subject to change. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service for effective communication, or a modification of policies or procedures to participate in a program, service, or activity should contact library staff as soon as possible. Advance requests 48 hours or more before the event are encouraged, but not required. See a schedule of upcoming events on the HSPLS Events Calendar.
