Learn to play Munchkin and Carcassonne.
Carcassonne: A tile-placement game in which the players draw and place a tile with a piece of southern French landscape on it. The tile might feature a city, a road, a monastery, grassland or some combination thereof, and it must be placed adjacent to tiles that have already been played, in such a way that cities are connected to cities, roads to roads, and field to field. Having placed a tile, the player can then decide to place one of their meeples on one of the areas on it.
Munchkin: Make your way through a dungeon! Kick down doors! Fight monsters! Get treasure! Backstab friends! The dungeon exploring, monster fighting, treasure hoarding game with no silly role playing.
Lawrence Branch
The Lawrence Branch opened in 1967 on North Franklin Road in a storefront previously occupied by the Lawrence Post Office. It was the first branch to open within an incorporated town in Marion County. Rapid population growth demonstrated the need for a larger, permanent facility to serve the northeast side. A 3.44 acre site was purchased from MSD Lawrence Township for a new 13,500-square-foot library that opened in 1983.
Renovated in 2020, the Lawrence Branch re-opened to changes that maximized access to the Library’s services and collections, created engaging and functional spaces for those of all ages, and increased access to new technology. The project also provided group study and tutoring areas, improved lighting, more outlets for charging stations, and updates to the entrance, public restrooms and interior finishes.
