[LIBRARYDIR] Information request: Library board game collection

[Jacquelyn Ray]

We don't currently offer board games at WWCC.  But, this is inspired me to reach out to our recently established chess club-they've been struggling with finding a time to meet and the library might be a good venue for accommodating schedules.

At one of my former institutions we did offer library Legos and other visible gaming opportunities but centered these around finals week.   It was really interesting the Legos students preferred were the kits-Minecraft, etc.

We do not have game for check out, but I am now intrigued.  It could be interesting to acquire a few games in a language other than English.
If we did use library money to purchase games it would be from our fines and fees line item.

Interestingly we occasionally see tables of students playing card games. They usually get very loud and we tell them to move into a group room.


Thanks

Hi All - I'm posting this message on behalf of Michelle Bagley at PCC:

Greetings!

I'm collecting some information about Board game collections at your libraries. Please see below for my questions:

1) Do you have a current board game collection that circulates?
3) What games do you circulate?
4) What has the response been to this collection?
5) How did you fund the collection? From your library collection account or another account?

Thank you and have a terrific holiday break!
