The Wolfgram Memorial Library offers a collection of tabletop games for circulation. A list of games can be found through our LibGuide through the "Games in the Collection" tab.
Board games have a 7-day loan period with the ability to renew the item for an additional 7 days. A patron may check out up to three games at a time. Board games may leave the building.
Games may be played within the library. They are not permitted on the 4th floor or other designated quiet areas.
Games must be returned inside the library at the Library Information Desk. Please do not place them in the book drops.
The board game is not considered returned until all items within the box/case have been returned to the library in working and complete condition. A lost, damaged or stolen game will result in a minimum charge of $10 up to the full replacement charge cost.
Games cannot be requested by other libraries through InterLibrary Loan.
Library staff strongly recommends that borrowers inspect the game they are checking out before leaving the library so that they may immediately report any problems with it. Upon checkout, the borrower assumes full responsibility for the board game and all components. All returned board games must be assessed for condition and components by library staff.
Collection requests or suggestions may be submitted through the form in the collection’s LibGuide. If you are interested in donating a board game, please reach out to Kristen Seikaly at kmseikaly@widener.edu.
NOTE: This is a loan program ONLY. The library staff is not available for instruction. Detailed instructions are provided in the game box. Certain games have video instructions available online through the publisher or other third parties.
