Get your game on!

Variety of board games including Apples to Apples, Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, etc.

Exams are a very stressful time for students. The Library Outreach group is planning some strategies to help support students during exam time.

The Library has board games available for loan to our patrons! The board games will allow students to take mini-breaks away from books and computers, and encourage social interactions with each other.

Stress can make it almost impossible for some students to focus on their exams and they may struggle to recall things they have learned. Studies have found that taking a break from studying has beneficial effects on the mental health of students. When they return to their books, they are better able to focus and perform.

Games are available for 3-hour loan from the circulation desks in both the Dana Porter and Davis Centre libraries.
