New Youth Board Games Now Available for Checkout

WPLD cardholders can now check out a variety of board games for children, from classics like Connect 4 and Candy Land, to newer titles such as Capture the Flag and Magical Kitties Save the Day. We also have innovative games like Noodle Knockout and Happy Salmon that encourage movement and creativity.

Board games are more than just entertainment. They help children develop important skills such as critical thinking and cooperation. Playing games together also provides opportunities for family interaction and social connection.

Find the games with the take-home puzzles near the entrance to the Discovery Room. The selection includes games for a range of ages and interests, so whether you're looking for an old favorite or hoping to discover a new game, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

If you have questions about the new board game collection, please contact the Youth Services Desk at 630-393-1171 x124 or youthservices@warrenville.com.
