At Newton Public Library, you can check out books, DVDs, STEM activity kits, WiFi hotspots… and now, board games.

Thanks to a grant from the South Central Kansas Library System, the library has added a collection of circulating board games for preschoolers through adults. The plan is to continue adding new games over time, so the library welcomes suggestions of additional board game to purchase. Donations of games in good condition are also appreciated.

Board games must be checked out on an adult’s library card. They can be borrowed two at a time, with seven-day checkouts. Click on the links below to go directly to the online catalog page for each board game, where you can put the game on hold. You can also stop by, call 316-283-2890, or email library@newtonplks.org to request board games.
