This weekend, we're running "Play in the 1950s" for the Livonia Library. In the event, we'll let kids play with games and toys that were popular with kids in the 1950s. Things like Tiddly Winks, Clue, Candy Land, Scrabble, and more. www.facebook.com/events/78610...

As we work on creating programming, we're also adding to our collection of games www.youtube.com/shorts/HswhT...

New games in the library: Clue Junior, Five Crowns Junior, and more!

Hey look... inventory items!

In an interesting turn of events, we'll be headed to Cincinnati this weekend to get a HUGE head start on our plans for advancing our Play mission in Michigan. The amazing playlibrary.org is donating their inventory and furniture to us. This advances our plans in huge ways. Stay tuned!

Play Library

The Play Library is just like a regular library but instead of books, we lend toys and games!

If your town had a non-profit that allowed you to checkout board games and hobby materials, would you use it? A "Play Library" if you will...

We ran a neighborhood game day and it was a great success. Getting families together to play and allowing children to self organize during the event led to everyone having a blast. whenweplay.org/blog/running...
