- Challenger Kit: Escape Loch Ness Your relaxing vacation to the Scottish Highlands has become positively monstrous! Can you crack beastly puzzles, decode all the slippery ciphers, and escape Loch Ness?

- Spot It! (tabletop): We will have a Spot It challenge and you will have to find different things on it each week! This activity is sponsored by the Friends of the Newport Public Library.
- Munch Madness Tournament: It’s herbivores vs. carnivores in our battle of prehistoric creatures! Which will be Newport’s favorite: T. Rex or Stegosaurus? Megalodon or Brachiosaurus? Triceratops or Spinosaurus? You decide! Vote between pairs of prehistoric animals each week until the favorite is crowned.
