We'll be playing board games and we'd love to start some conversations about gaming, too! If you're curious about role playing games or interested in gaming mechanics, this is the place to strike up a conversation with other gamers.
All ages are welcome.
KCPL's collection of games has expanded and now includes games for kids, as well as for adults and teens.
