Kent County Public Library now has board games and we're featuring them at this all-ages gaming night.

How does Board Game Night work? It's pretty simple - you choose a game (one from the KCPL collection or you're welcome to bring a favorite game from home), find some players, and play!

KCPL's collection of games ranges from Pete the Cat Groovy Buttons Game and Snug as a Bug in a Rug for young kids to Dixit, Forbidden Island, and Pandemic for adults and teens. In addition to being featured at game night, these games can be checked out to play at home!

In addition to playing board games, we'd love to start some conversations about gaming, too! If you're curious about role playing games or interested in gaming mechanics, this is the place to strike up a conversation with other gamers.

All ages are welcome.

Bring your friends, play games, and have fun!
