Did you know the Fairborn Library has a Scrabble Club? It meets every other Thursday at 7pm downstairs in the meeting room. The next meeting is scheduled for February 21st. Since there really isn’t anything interesting on television, and it is cold out, you should come down to the library and join us! This club is for adults and older teens. All skill levels are welcome.

The library has all kinds of resources for those of you interested in words, or “word-freaks” if you will. I saw a really interesting documentary called Wordplay not too long ago. It follows people who are very (read: extremely, obsessively) interested in crossword puzzles. Will Shortz, the famous editor of the New York Times Crossword Puzzle, tells about how he selects puzzles for the paper as well as giving personal background. The World Crossword Puzzle Championship Tournament is featured. If you think you are good at crosswords, watch this: the people in this film will make you feel like a beginner! As I was researching for this post, I came across this book in the library: Crossworld: One Man’s Journey into America’s Crossword Obsession. Looks like a winner if you’d rather read about the world of puzzlers.
