Blood Drive @ Slocum Grange: If you will be nearby the Slocum Grange Tuesday late afternoon, try to squeeze in an extra 40 minutes or so to donate blood. It may not be the most fun you’ve ever had (though it’s really not bad!), but you’ll be helping out those in dire need. From 4 to 7 p.m. at 96 Slocum Road.

Ender’s Game @ NKHS Library: In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin  is drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training. Ender's two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. Join us for this book discussion. 6:30 p.m. at North Kingstown Free Library.
