The Northborough Free Library is pleased to announce our new Minecraft Club for Teens in grades 6-12. Minecraft is an open-world game where players are placed in a borderless, randomly generated land with no supplies or directions. Players collect materials from the world around them in order to ‘craft’ items and build whatever their mind can imagine. There are forests to explore, mountains to climb, oceans to cross, and dungeons to discover. Objectives are imagined by players, allowing them to truly create their own virtual world. Join fellow Minecrafters as we explore and build together. This program is made possible by a donation from the Marshall family in loving memory of their son, Chris.
