During the games week on Monday, October 30 to Saturday, November 4, the libraries will provide a broad range of board game favourites, like Scrabble and Yatzee, for everyone to enjoy.
Not only is it a great opportunity to bring out your competitive side, but locals can also take part in the inaugural MidCoast Libraries inter-branch puzzle off.
