Tonawanda Library Hosts February Teen Dungeons & Dragons Session Introducing Roleplaying, Storytelling

A Teen Dungeons & Dragons session at the City of Tonawanda Public Library on February 21, 2026 was billed as part of an ongoing monthly program targeting teens ages 12-18. Library listings describe the offering as a "recurring outreach effort meant to introduce teens to roleplaying, storytelling, and" and list the Dungeons & Dragons club under the event title Dungeons & Dragons Library Adventures.

Across the Erie County border, the North Tonawanda Public Library ran its Teen Gaming Mondays on February 9, 2026 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM at 505 Meadow Drive for students in grades 6-12. That session invited players to bring friends to play Dungeons & Dragons, other RPGs, board games, card games, or Nintendo Switch. North Tonawanda staff provided books, snacks, and a librarian to help with gaming questions, and the program was funded by the Friends of the Library. No registration was required, and the library explicitly opened the program to residents of North Tonawanda, Wheatfield, and Pendleton.

The City of Tonawanda entry and the North Tonawanda posting show different eligibility metrics: Tonawanda lists ages 12-18 while North Tonawanda lists grades 6-12. The City of Tonawanda listing in the library calendar referenced an event featured image and described the offering as "City of Tonawanda's Dungeons and Dragons club for teens 12-18" but did not include a street address or a start time in the public snippet. The North Tonawanda announcement supplied the 505 Meadow Drive address and the February 9 start and end times.

Social channels also promoted library gaming. An Instagram post captured in the listing window announced "Game Night at the Library meets TONIGHT at 6pm. This program is designed for teens and adults. Board games, cards, & RPG. This program is every" but the snippet did not identify which library hosted that particular 6:00 PM game night or provide the full recurrence text. The online listing that announced the Tonawanda Feb. 21 session came from a local aggregator account showing 23 posts and 4 followers in the captured metadata.

Taken together, the postings indicate multiple public libraries in the Tonawanda area are running recurring teen gaming offerings with varying age or grade eligibility and differing levels of detail in public listings. The City of Tonawanda program is presented as a monthly outreach for ages 12-18, while North Tonawanda’s Teen Gaming Mondays gave a full date, time, address, staffing notes, funding source, and residency rules for its February session. Library event calendars and posted flyers remain the primary place to confirm specific times, room assignments, and any materials or attendance limits.
