April programs at Pine Island Public Library offer topics for all ages
Next month’s roster of activities at Pine Island Public Library offers topics for all ages. The following activities are free to the public:
Adults
Wii Gaming – Sports Spectacular for Adults
11 a.m. Tuesday, April 6
Play tennis, baseball, golf, bowling, boxing, or rock out with Guitar Hero in the Meeting Room. Use the Nintendo Wii Remote controller to mimic the actions of swinging a racket, bat or club, roll a ball down an alley or bring the left jab. Players can use their own Mii caricatures in the game and play them against their friends’ Miis for a more personalized experience. As players improve, their Miis’ skill levels will increase, so that they can see exactly how much better they’ve become. People of all skill levels can pick up and play any of the games in the unprecedented Wii Sports game!
