🎲 BOARD GAMES ARE HERE! 🎉

The wait is over – our brand new Board Game Collection has officially arrived!

We launched the collection this week, and the response has been incredible. 🤩 In just a few days, over half of the games have already been borrowed!

Whether you're planning a family game night, catching up with friends, or looking for something fun to do over the weekend, we've got a great range of games waiting for you.

🎲 Available to borrow from Gore Library and Mataura Library.

Pop in, browse the collection, and see what all the excitement is about before your favourite game is checked out!
