Senior Citizens Wii Bowling
Mondays, 10:30 am
Beginning September 22nd
Strike! Show your bowling skills right here in the Butterfield Library! Already popular at other area libraries, this virtual reality video game is very much like the real thing because the player goes through the physical motions of the game while hooked up to the controller and watching the results on a TV screen. Stop by the Library to check it out!
