Grandparents -- If you have trouble thinking up a gift for your pre-teen and teen-aged grandsons (or granddaughters), here's an idea for you: this "Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook" and set of dice.

So what is Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) and how do you play?

Simply put, Dungeons & Dragons is simply interactive storytelling. Players gather together in one room to take part in an imaginary adventure that often involves exploring a castle or dungeon, defeating monsters and discovering treasure. The group of players essentially tell a collective story, guiding heroes through dangerous quests to search for treasure, battle deadly foes, and even carry out daring rescues. The adventure itself is only limited by the imagination of the players around the table.

The Sargent Library in Boxborough has in-person D&D groups that meet after school every other week to play. For more information, please contact the library.
