[TEENS CRAFTS, GAMES AND PLAY]

A low-key after-school option for teens 13 to 19: the West Town branch opens its space Friday afternoon, January 15, from 2:00 to 4:30 PM for open play on the Nintendo Switch, with titles like Super Smash Bros., Minecraft, and Among Us on the roster. Room capacity is capped at eight, so it’s a smaller, more focused hangout rather than a big crowd. No registration or fee is mentioned—just show up if you want a few rounds of Smash after class. For accessibility requests, call (312) 747-8184 or email access@chipublib.org at least 14 business days ahead.
