All Seattle librarians, future librarians, library junkies, family and friends are invited to the Seattle Reference Trivia Challenge! This will be a library-inspired take on traditional trivia nights with prizes and bragging rights to the winning players.
Teams or individuals will be asked questions inspired by library reference questions and will have to search the internet to find the answers. The team with the most correct answers at the end of an hour of searching will win gift certificates to Third Place Books and snazzy RIG swag. This event will be held at Cafe Racer (5825 Roosevelt Way NE) on Jan 18th from 5-7 pm. Cafe Racer also offers full coffee service, a selection of beers, wines, and liquors, as well as a full food menu with amazing sandwiches and possibly the best hot-dogs in Seattle, so you can be well fed and quench your thirst while you have some trivia fun.
