IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES AT THE LIBRARY

November is International Games Month and the staff at the Coos Bay Public Library are happy to help you join in on the fun. We have games of all types that you can enjoy at home or sample with other community members at our monthly Game Night.

Tabletop gamers rejoice! We have over 150 board games available for checkout, many of which would cost $40+ if purchased on your own. These include everything from kids’ games like ‘Pete the Cat Groovy Friendship Game’ and ‘It’s a Small World’ to more complicated games like ‘Dune’ or ‘Settlers of Catan’ (and its many expansion packs and variants). If classic games are more your cup of tea, we also have nostalgic picks like ‘Monopoly’, ‘Scrabble’, and ‘Trivial Pursuit’. Whether you like focusing on strategy, cooperation, or puzzles, we invite you to come check out (pun intended) our selection. If you are looking to meet other teen & adult players, try our monthly Game Night on the last Friday of each month. We provide games, snacks, and beverages – you bring your competitive spirit!

If you enjoy video games, we carry a diverse array of titles for gaming systems such as Play Station (2-5), Xbox One, and Switch. Instead of spending $70 on a game you may or may not like, try one for free with your library card. Each card holder can check out three games at a time, giving you plenty to do indoors during our wet winter. Whether you enjoy cozy life sims, roguelikes, role-playing games, or first-person shooters, our collection of video games promises to show you the latest & greatest both AAA and indie game studios have to offer.

If you are looking for an activity that is a bit more relaxing, try one of our jigsaw puzzles. We always keep community puzzles on our big library tables behind new fiction, and doesn’t working on a puzzle while gazing out our large windows at the rain sound just delightful? If you prefer to do a puzzle at home, we have dozens of them waiting for you. From a simple 300 piece to a challenging double-sided 1000 piece, you’ll surely find a puzzle with a difficulty level & design to light up your winter days. As an added bonus, puzzles are “checked out” on an honor system. No need for a card; just let us know how many you are taking and bring them back when you're done!

So, if you are looking for a way to celebrate International Game Month without breaking the bank, or just to while away a rainy afternoon and stay out of “Trouble,” take a “Risk” at the Coos Bay Public Library and we will be happy to “Clue” you in to a game that’s right for you. We promise you won’t be “Sorry!”
