Mahjong Drop In / Saturdays / 10:30-12:30

Mahjong Drop In

Saturdays from 10:30-12:30 upstairs on the 2nd floor in the back.

Mahjong players continue to meet upstairs on the 2nd floor in the back. This is an ongoing, self-directed group. Both the Chinese and the American versions may be played.

This is a drop-in for players who are familiar to the game. If you are new, others may be able to help but this is not a class with instruction.

Please register with judi@waterburypubliclibrary.com so we can set up tables for the correct amount of people.
