Ask Not What Your Games Library Can Do For You…

On second thought, *do* ask what your Games Library can do for you. 

Do you ever see a game and think, “Wow, that looks neat but that’s a LOT of money. What if I don’t like it?” Check out the Library and see if it’s there, then check the game out and give it a test drive (however, please don’t kick the tires). If it’s not on the list, there are suggestion forms at the Library desk. Fill one out and add your game to the Wishlist.

Do you just have a half hour and want to play something? There is a listing of games by time. Got 7 people and you all want to play the same game? There is a listing by min and max players. Does Junior want to play something but is too young to sit at any tables? There’s a list by recommended age and what kind of a gaming library would it be without games to get Junior hooked?

Were you playing a game and realized you came up short a meeple? Or maybe you were walking along and found a game piece sitting by its lonesome.  There is a Lost and Found parts bucket at the library too.

Maybe you have a game all set up but you need one more player, or maybe you are one more player and need a game.  The Games Library has a stash of Green Cones to put at your table to alert your fellow gamers that This Table Needs Some Players.

Lastly, This year the Games Library will have a Games on Demand program where throughout the day, people will set up with several games they are willing to teach. If you are one of those people who like to try new games but find reading through the instructions and puzzling the games out yourself onerous, wander by and see what is being offered.

P.S. I have it on good authority that you can also check out phone chargers at the Library, just in case your phone is dying and you can’t get it to fire up Chwazi.
