Planet Word Community Day: Words, Games & Interactive Fun 🗣️📚

We’re heading to Planet Word for its 6th Anniversary Community Day on Sunday, October 18. In addition to Planet Word’s interactive exhibits, the museum is offering special activities, pop-up talks, games, and demonstrations throughout the afternoon. Community Day runs from 12:00–4:00 PM.

We’ll meet at 12:00 PM in front of Planet Word. We’ll spend about 15 minutes introducing ourselves and getting to know each other, then head inside together around 12:15 PM.

At 12:30 PM, we’ll join the What’s New in the Library curator pop-up talk. Afterward, we’ll explore the museum and Community Day activities together.

Since we’re meeting right at lunchtime, please eat lunch before you arrive so we can head inside after introductions and start exploring.

Here are some of the activities Planet Word has planned:

12:00–4:00 PM: Museum-wide scavenger hunt, wordplay table games, and a self-guided Building History & Architecture audio tour

We’ll plan to spend a couple of hours exploring together, but Community Day continues until 4:00 PM, so anyone who wants to stay longer is welcome to do so.

As always, if you’re coming by yourself, you’ll already know at least one person. I’ll be there. 🧡
