Board Games Collection

Thanks to the initial donation from TimeMasters, Inc., we have a vast collection of board games across the province! In this section you'll find a full list of where the board games in our collection our housed, and how to find the full list of our board games or games by specific player counts in our online catalogue. Our collection includes titles suited for a variety of ages and skill levels. 

The lending period for games is 3 weeks with 3 renewals allowed, and holds can be placed on games housed at your library. Board games must be returned to their owning library and must be returned to the circulation desk. Each library card holder can check-out up to 6 games at a time.
