Discover the Games Library across our bi-borough library service
Kensington and Chelsea libraries have launched a game borrowing project.
Event details
No booking required.
Free
Library members can now borrow a variety of tabletop board games to play at home. Games can be borrowed directly from Kensington Central and Pimlico libraries, or reserved for collection at any branch free of charge.
Tabletop gaming is a fun and sociable way to spend time with family and friends. It can help young people and adults develop social skills, collaboration, creative thinking, strategic thinking, and more. The Games Library has made over 150 games available for people to borrow and take home. Games available include Catan, Ticket to Ride, Azul, and many more. A full list of the games can be found in our online catalogue.
In Kensington and Chelsea, the Games library is based at Kensington Central Library, while at Westminster, Pimlico Library, however, library members can reserve the games to pick up from any of the RBKC Libraries. Please note, that library members must be aged 10+ to reserve and borrow games.
