IT''S SCRABBLE TIME

Our "March In and Win" Scrabble contest is open to all patrons willing to enter in our supersized Scrabble game.

Stop in the Library during the month of March and you could win a game of Scrabble. Pick your letters, place your word on our supersize game board and you just might win. Here are the details and the rules.

OFFICIAL RULES

  • Players must use the official Scrabble game board and tiles provided.
  • Only one entry per person, per game. Games will last as long as tiles are available. When tiles run out, a new game will start. We will announce new games and winners on social media.
  • Players must place their tiles on the board according to the standard Scrabble rules.
  • Valid words must be at least three letters long and must be found in a standard English dictionary. Proper nouns, abbreviations, obscene speech, and acronyms are NOT PERMITTED and will be removed from the board.
  • Points are awarded based on the value of each letter tile and any special squares on the game board that are occupied by the word.
  • The player with the highest score at the end of the game wins the contest. In case of a tie, a winner will be chosen randomly from those with the same score. Any disputes or violations of the rules will be resolved by the game officiants.

HOW TO PLAY:

  • Fill out the entry form with your name and phone. Hold on to your entry sheet until you have formed your word.
