Rock Island, IL: The Rock Island Public Library Foundation will host a "Books for Kids" Trivia Night on Thursday, Oct. 20, from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm at the Quad City Botanical Center, 2525 4th Avenue, Rock Island. The trivia night raises funds for the Lorene Evans Watts Fund for Children's Materials, which supports purchases of children's items at Rock Island Libraries.

 

Cost to play is $10 per person. Participants may increase their chances to win by purchasing mulligan stickers, doubler round stickers or bidding to win answers for a round from the night's celebrity genius. Snacks are welcome and a cash bar will be available from the Botanical Center.

 

To play, sign up with Kathy Lelonek of the Rock Island Library Foundation at 309-732-7326 or email riplfoundation@gmail.com. Players may register for a table of eight or be matched with a table that needs players.

 

Sponsors include Jake-O's Grille, Katco Resources, Inc, Moline Breakfast Optimists, Jaycee-I alumni, and James Brandenmyer. For information on sponsoring a table, please contact the Rock Island Library Foundation.
