Gaming @ the Library!

Besides the classic board games like Monopoly and Scrabble we have Boggle, Forbidden Island, Jumbulaya, Sort It Out, Word Racer and more. These games were generously donated by the U. S. Embassy Kyiv.
These games are available to use s during Game Afternoon programs. Beginning July 2011, we launch a new program – Game Afternoon. This program aims to build and foster English language skills in a fun and competitive way. It meets once a week on Tuesdays at 4p.m .
Bring your friends, family and spend an afternoon of fun in the air conditioned Media Room this summer exploring our great board game collection.
