GameTruck is coming to Argos Public Library on Wednesday, July 31th from 10 AM - Noon. 4th graders through high school students can earn the chance to play in the game truck by completing an extra reading incentive during July. All you have to do is participate in the 2013 Summer Reading Program, pre-register for the event and you’ll get to be part of an awesome gaming experience!

Game Truck is a mobile trailer with several flat screen TVs that connect to Wii, Xbox and Playstation systems.
