Jumanji @ ODL!

| See all Announcements

It’s a jungle in the Otsego District Library! A life-size Jumanji game has come to life in the large program room. Families will trek through the jungle in this interactive game, but adventurers beware–spine-tingling surprises and jungle creatures are lurking around every turn! This is “a game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind.” Jumanji is open during all library hours December 26 through January 18. Cost to play is $1.00 per person or a maximum of $5.00 per family (children 2 and under are free). Proceeds from this event will go toward the purchase of new toys and literacy-based activities in the Rise & Shine Early Literacy Center.

The library is thankful for the following Jumanji sponsors: First Baptist Church, Home Depot, Steensma Lawn & Power, Endless Destinations, Farmers Insurance – Toby Esterline Agency, Winkel Funeral Home, Advance America, Otsego Medical Center, Dougie’s Bar & Grill, Friendship Wesleyan Church, Cornell & Associates Realtors, Tim K. Hutchens CPA P.C., McEwen Law Office, First Congregational Church, Allegan General Hospital, Tom & Diana Gilmer, Otsego Public Schools, M&S Lawn Care, and the Friends of the Library.

Join us for a special closing event at the end of Jumanji!
