Can you spell F-U-N? Wichita Public Library will present the first Adult Spelling Bee from 7-9 p.m. Friday, November 3 at the Advanced Learning Library, 711 W. 2nd St. This after-hours events encourages adult spellers, word enthusiasts, bibliophiles or people who enjoy a good competition to form teams and compete for serious bragging rights.
