2018 MLA Annual Conference

We would like to present a session on the Anoka County Library's board game collection. Our collection is unique in that we circulate these items outside our library. Our goals for the program are: Describe how this collection was proposed and sheparded through the library board Discuss the community's reaction and incredible success we've had with this collection Provide practical examples about what works and what issues we've encountered when circulating board games. We hope that after the session participants are able to identify if circulating board games is worth pursuing in their library. We also want to challenge participants to think beyond even board games and realize there many different types of materials that can be in a library's collection.
