BOOKISH: Philly lit events from May 17-23

Each week, Nina Willbach puts together a rundown of book-centric events. This week: Community Scrabble, Toni Morrison and a look at Philly in the next 100 years!

Thursday: As Words With Friends sweeps the nation, it's easy to forget about its analog forbearer Scrabble. The classic board game not only increases vocabulary but has a unique ability to bring together players of many generations, making it a true classic and a staple of any serious game cabinet. Today at the library's Falls of Schuykill branch, they'll be laying all their tiles on the table with two full hours of good, old-fashioned scrabble. Players of all levels are encouraged to stop by for a round or two at the boards. For students on summer break, it's a great way to brush up on your verbal trivia. For English Language learners, scrabble represents the social side of expanding your vocabulary. Get off your smart phoness and pick up your tiles for a fun and nerdy wordy Thursday.

10:30 a.m., free, FLP Falls of Schuykill Branch, 3501 Midvale Ave., freelibrary.org.
