Rom Com Trivia Night! This Friday!



Friday, February 8th, 2019
Columbia College Library
624 S Michigan-1st Floor
5-7pm.


Do you have a weirdly extensive knowledge of romance and love according to Hollywood?  Do you sigh or cringe at every kiss in the rain?  Every "meet cute" scene in a coffee shop?  Are you a Kate Hudson or more of a Sandra Bullock? A Ryan Reynolds or a Seth Rogan? Come get a start on your Valentine's week and test your genius with an evening devoted to the best and worst that the film industry has to offer when it comes L-O-V-E.
Welcoming all Columbia College community members interested in the intersection of libraries and gaming, the Library Gaming Society sponsors occasional events and activities that explore the CCC Library and its collections/resources as a perfect place for game playing and game-making. Our interests are diverse and include board games, card games, video games, role playing games, trivia nights, etc.
