Family Literacy Week Unplug and Play activities in the Shuswap wrapped up with a friendly game of indoor soccer.

The Shuswap Youth Soccer Association, in partnership with the Literacy Alliance of the Shuswap Society, hosted a Family Footy event at the SASCU Indoor Memorial Complex on Saturday, Jan. 29. The all-ages event began with self-guided drills and smaller games before participants teamed up for an informal game.

Also part of Unplug and Play, the Friends of the Library’s used book sale took place Friday and Saturday at the Mall at Piccadilly.

Unplug and Play events were geared towards giving people a break from their electronic devices with family friendly activities to participate in.
