Find your new favorite board game at Bentonville Public Library every first and third Saturday of the month!
GeekCon fans LOVED our Board Game Lounge hosted by Meeple Academy, so we're making space for tabletop players every month!
BPL will be joined by Meeple Academy to curate a selection of games on a theme. We'll be there to help explain the games and answer any questions about other games you might enjoy.
The event is held from 12:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Players are encouraged to select games from the library's collection--let us know if we don't have what you're looking for. Players must sign out the game while at the event and are responsible for the condition of the games until are signed back in.
Find a game you like and want to bring it home? You can do so at the front desk.
Players are also welcome to bring their own board games, but we ask that you check in your games with Meeple Academy. BPL and MA are not responsible for loss or damage of patron-owned games.
Since the library closes promptly at 5:00 pm, we have hard stops:
· No games can be started after 3:30 pm.
· All games must be completely put away by 4:30 pm.
