Calling brave heroes for a quest in Dungeons & Dragons! Whether this is your first adventure or your twentieth, join us for an afternoon of fantastic deeds!
The small town of Breechill has sent out its monthly Call for Heroes—a dog has run off, there are rats in the tavern cellar, and old Warble Bumblebrasher is asking for someone to investigate her disappearing clan mates. Some say that fishy things are going on at the dilapidated Citadel Alteran, with noises wafting down to town on the breeze at night…what adventure will await you?
A choice of playable third-level characters, dice, pencils, and other necessary supplies will be provided.

Branch history
Library service to the Finksburg area began on January 28, 2009 with the opening of the 13,805 square foot branch. The Finksburg Planning and Citizens' Council played an integral role in helping the Finksburg Branch become a reality. This library was the first Green building in Carroll County. Some of the green features include: geothermal wells, a storm water management system, and recyclable and recycled materials.
