Friendship and Fun at Giggles and Games

Published on 24 March 2025

Looking for a light-hearted way to spend your morning? Want to meet new people, share a few laughs, and maybe even discover your competitive streak? Then Giggles and Games at the Greater Hamilton Library is just the ticket!

This vibrant new event series launched in February and will continue on the second Friday of every month from 10:30am – 11:30am, with the next session happening Friday 11 April 2025.

Born out of the success of the Library’s Seniors Week Murder Mystery Night, Giggles and Games brings that same spirit of fun, laughter and connection into a regular, welcoming event for the whole community.

“People were so eager to continue these light-hearted games and shared experiences,” said Library Coordinator Kelly Pitt-Lancaster.

“Giggles and Games is all about sparking conversation, building friendships and creating a space where adults of all ages feel welcome and connected. It’s not just about the games—it’s about community.”

From Rummy-O to Celebrity Heads-Up, every session offers a mix of friendly competition, plenty of giggles and, of course, great conversation. Whether you're a seasoned game-lover or just in it for the laughs, there’s something for everyone—and plenty of friendly faces to help you get started.

And while the events are especially popular with seniors, everyone is welcome. Whether you come with a friend or on your own, you’ll be greeted with a warm smile and a welcoming seat at the table.

Giggles and Games was created by library staff to get people out of their homes and into the community. This is a space for people to meet each other, make connections and share their skills and experiences. The most important rule is that everyone is welcome at Giggles and Games.
