Milne Library owns over 70 games and all of these games can be borrowed for free for up to 28 days. We carry anything from classics like Scrabble, Life and Clue to educational games such as Race to Madrid and First Orchard to action/adventure games like Takenoko and Carcassonne.
We will be featuring a sampling of these games on the main floor of the library near the main staircase with the rest of the collection being housed on the lower level in the Teacher Education Resource Center.
A few of the games mentioned in this post:
