Game Donations Needed
The Jackson Tabletop Club is looking for game donations. If you have any gently used board games, card games, dice games, etc… that are appropriate and interesting to students aged 11-14, we would love to have them for our permanent collection. Cooperative, strategy, and abstract type games that take 1 hour or less to play are a plus. Thanks in advance for your donations.
MANGA Donations Accepted
Manga (Japanese style comics) are in high demand at the Jackson Middle School library. Please consider donating your gently used Manga to our collection. We accept all titles with the ratings: All Ages, Teen, and Teen+.
