Trivia BEE
October 11, 2025

Thank you to all who joined the Pierce County Library Foundation for a night of trivia, delicious food, drinks, and joyful connection! 

 

Trivia BEE is more than just a good time. It’s your chance to help the library you love reach people across Pierce County who need it most – families facing language and transportation barriers, homebound seniors, and others who can’t access a physical library. Your support brings the library to them.  ​

Small Team (2-4 players - $250

Grab your smartest friends and join the trivia action! Your team of up to four might share a table with another crew – but don’t worry, you’re playing against them, not with them. Bragging rights are on the line!

Large Team (5-8 players) - $500

Bring your full trivia crew and enjoy a private table for your team of up to eight players.
