Come out and compete for “know-it-all” bragging rights and chintzy prizes at Bossard Trivia Night.

Each month, take part in Bossard Library’s Trivia Night and see how much you know about current events, science, history, pop culture, and more. Trivia Nights usually occur on the first Tuesday of the month at 6:00 PM but can be scheduled for a different date and time.

Participants can play individually, be matched up with others to create a team, or bring a team of family and friends. The maximum number of participants for each team is 10 people. Clever but appropriate team names are encouraged.

This will be a multi-round competition with questions ranging from easy to challenging. Teams will submit answers on paper so no one will have to stand up in front of everyone, push a buzzer, or feel self-conscious.

Trivia begins promptly at 6:00 PM, so plan on arriving a few minutes before to get situated with your team.

Trivia Night is free and open to teens, adults, and families with children ages 13+.

The winning individual or team will receive a nominal prize, have their photo placed on the Library’s Facebook page and, most importantly, will own the bragging rights to Bossard Trivia Night for the month.

Light refreshments will be served.

Flea Market

Gallia County native and author John Morgan, is a professional acoustic guitarist based in Central Ohio. Unencumbered by the pursuit of fame or fortune, he diligently pursues his musical aspirations through performance, instruction, composition, and recording. From 2001 to 2022, John served as an Artist-in-Residence for Ohio Health, regularly performing for oncology patients. His book, Notes in the Key of C-Tuning out Cancer, Tuning in Hope, is a poignant collection of observations and reflections gleaned from his experiences at the forefront of life. These stories evoke a wide range of emotions, including tears, laughter, hope, and joy.
On Friday evening, April 11, from 4:00-6:00 pm, attendees are invited to a presentation by John, featuring select musical performances, followed by a question-and-answer session. A reception with appetizers and refreshments, accompanied by a book signing, will follow. Hope you can join us in celebrating one of our Gallia County native’s successes. This event is being sponsored by Holzer Health System and in part by the Ohio Arts Council.
