Hey Board Game fans! Looking for a new challenge? Come to our Board Game Swap and trade in your old games for new ones.

The Beatley Library is starting a new board game swap program - come to our kick off event and swap your old game for a new-to-you one. Games will be in the Periodicals Room. Please make sure your game has its instructions and all its pieces securely in the box or in a plastic bag or envelope inside the box. You may drop games off in advance at the Beatley Information desk starting Saturday, June 8 or just bring them to the swap.

Don't have a game to swap right now? Not a problem! Feel free to pick up a game anyway and when you're finished, bring it back to exchange for a different one. 

When our kick off event is over, our game swap will be ongoing and games will be kept on the shelves near the reference collection, near our puzzle swap. Just ask at the Information desk if you need help locating them.
