Games, Puzzles & Creativity

Board Games

Our game collection expands the educational and recreational offerings available to our community. The games chosen encourage face-to-face social interaction, team building, storytelling, planning, sportsmanship, literacy, and more. The collection also offers patrons the opportunity to try out a game before purchasing their own.

Games can be borrowed for one week. Bring it back and try another!
Games must be picked up and returned to the Kirkland Town Library.
Borrowers are responsible for returning the game with all of its pieces and accessories. Each box includes a list of its contents. Staff will inventory the items when games are returned; if you notice something missing, please let us know.
If a piece is missing, the borrower will be charged the cost of replacement pieces. Or, if not available, the borrower will need to pay for a new game.

Puzzles to Borrow

Our jigsaw puzzles feature original art created just for the Kirkland Town Library by local artists and can be borrowed with a library card for one week.

Puzzles must be picked up and returned to the Kirkland Town Library.
Borrowers are responsible for returning the puzzle with all of its pieces. Because the puzzles are one-of-a-kind, pieces cannot be replaced if they are lost.
