Join us for a session on Mahjong instruction, led by Indianapolis Riichi Mahjong on Japanese Mahjong!
In this two-hour session, learn about the history and mechanics of Riichi, or Japanese Mahjong, a style of the classic game that is rapidly becoming popular in anime and video games! While Riichi Mahjong has been around since the 1950s, this program will offer a fresh and brief hands-on instruction, followed by friendly matches. Led by the Indianapolis Riichi Mahjong group, you'll learn something new regardless of skill level.
This program is designed for adults and seniors. Registration is required.

The first library to serve the neighborhood opened in 1957 as the Emerson Branch. This frame house near East 38th Street and North Emerson Avenue soon became too small to meet the neighborhood's needs, leading to the construction of a 7,500-square-foot branch at the same location in 1962. The Emerson Branch closed its doors in 2003 when the current 16,000-square-foot library opened as the East Thirty-Eighth Street Branch.
