Hi Miriam,
You can find information about using board games for programming on WebJunction,
http://www.webjunction.org/news/webjunction/board-in-the-library-part-six.html This link is to the last part of a 6 part series on games. You can find the others linked at the top of the article.
Here is an article about creating a partnership for a program in a public library,

You can find a list of board game related programming at Harris County PL here,

I’m sure others on Michlib will have some great ideas for you.

Hello All,
We have a patron at BRCL that has been donating board games to the library. They are all brand new but we don’t exactally know what to do with them. Do any libraries check out board games to patrons or do you have them available in
the library for patrons to play? Any ideas of what to do with these would be nice!
Thanks,
Miriam Andrus, Director
