Why a Tabletop Game Collection?

Tabletop games, usually requiring a large surface to play, have grown in their popularity due to the variety available, diverse game mechanics, and the dynamics involved with large or small group sizes. With this in mind, Newton Gresham Library has chosen to dive into the gaming community with a diverse and growing tabletop game collection.

You are welcome to play on one of the many tables available in the library, or you can check-out up to 4 games at a time for a 4-day period. We welcome your suggestions and feedback as you take part in using this collection and we hope you enjoy the many games available!
