CSN Library services would like to officially welcome all eagerly questing Pokémon, masters! Search among our stacks for a number of Pokémon, meet other players, and escape the heat.

Just importantly, perhaps even most importantly, the CSN Libraries have charging stations, an invaluable asset for the Pokémon-seeker whose phone is drained by Pokémon seeking GPS! Don’t miss rare opportunities because of a dead battery!

Some quick tips for the beginner:

• Use the Nearby tray to track nearby Pokémon! This works like a game of hot and cold: three foot prints, you’re cold, two and you’re warming up, one and your close! No foot print and your Pokémon should be right in front of you!
• Catching a lot of the same Pokémon? Try spicing up the catch by spinning your Pokéball into a curveball by circling the Pokéball with your thumb before the throw. A catch with a curveball gets extra XP!
• Watch out for the color of the circle when trying to catch your Poké If you’re struggling with a yellow circle (moderate difficulty) or red circle (very difficult), try using razz berries to distract them.
