with other Pokémon players who love collecting and playing just as much as you do.

Even if you don't know all the rules of the game, at a League you can learn game basics and, in no time, perfect your strategy! Joining a League is the best way to hone your skills to compete in Pokémon tournaments, from League Challenges all the way up to the World Championships. This program is funded by The Friends of the Vineland Public Library.

Children younger than age 9 must be accompanied by an adult at all times in the library. Registration is requested for this free program. Call (856) 794-4244, ext. 4246 to register.
