Smyrna Activities

Wii gaming (featuring various games) and board games will be available for all ages to play from 10 a.m. to noon.

At Linebaugh, we'll be featuring games on the Nintendo Wii and playing on a 96" widescreen inflatable screen. At Smyrna, we'll be playing games on the Nintendo Wii using our projector screen.

Wii games are offered thanks to a $5000 Community Building Through Video Games in Libraries grant, funded by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library and Services Technology Act, administered by the Department of State, Tennessee State Library and Archives. The intent of the grant is to promote lifelong learning and literacy in the library through video game programs, while raising awareness about library services. Board games are provided in part by Hobbytown USA and the American Library Association.
