It's Trivia Time!
Don’t miss the 3rd annual Virtual Trivia Night sponsored by the Friends! Enjoy the thrill of trivia with teams comprised of your friends and family members from right next door, across the country, or around the globe!
Assemble a team of up to 6 players, or enter as an individual. Go it alone or ask to join a team. Come up with a clever team name and appoint a team captain who will receive further instructions.
Trivia players sign-up here to receive the Zoom link for the event. Please include your Team Name and/or Captain. If you would like to play but need a team, please let us know by February 20th so we have time to find you a team. Sign-up ends at 6:30pm the night of the event (22nd) so we can set up the Zoom breakout rooms for teams and captains list.
At the start of each round, each Team Captain will receive an email with a link to the questions (as a Google form) for the team to complete. The link will also be posted in the Zoom chat. Team members will go to team breakout “rooms” where team captains can either read the questions or share their screen with their team to collaborate on their answers and submit the form. There will be 4 rounds of 10 questions each followed by a final question where teams may wager their accumulated points.
Suggested donation is $10/person with a goal of $1000 to run the Summer Reading Program. The winning team will get bragging rights and announced on Facebook and the library display!
