Pokémon Club

Casual Pokémon play and learning (Ages 5-14)

Pokémon Club attendees can learn, play, and connect through the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) and other activities designed for their age range.

The American Association of School Librarians (AASL) and the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) have partnered with The Pokémon Company International to bring Pokémon Clubs to your library! 

Pokémon Club programs help students build essential cognitive, academic, and social-emotional skills through activities like deckbuilding, puzzle-solving, and collaborative gameplay. Join us in the RPL Friends of the Library Community Room at 4:00pm on the last Monday of the month!

*Pokémon Club aims to be inclusive and welcoming to all young players, regardless of their skill level or familiarity with Pokémon. Pokémon Club is not intended to be competitive. It will be a space exclusively for casual play and learning. Trading Pokémon cards is not part of this program. RPL is not responsible for lost, stolen, or traded items.
