Board Games Library Launch at North Kensington Library

Join us as we celebrate the launch of our Board Games Library at North Kensington Library!

There will be plenty of games to choose from, so get stuck in with an old favourite or pick something completely different- there is something for everyone.

All ages are welcome, but be aware that most of the games are best suited for ages 11+ as the game mechanics are sometimes complex as they have not been designed specifically for children. However, younger children could easily enjoy most of our games too if played with the help of older children or adults who could help them understand the games.

Why board games?

The board games in our collection are a bit different to Monopoly and Jenga; they are aimed at adults, teens and older children and cover a huge range of topics. They require skills like creativity, strategy, critical thinking and collaboration (many of them are designed to be played together!).

There’s growing evidence that gaming has a positive impact on literacy, numeracy and social skills, particularly for young people. It’s also a very popular hobby- if you've never tried it before, why not give one a go!
