<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> We have a patron at BRCL that has been donating board games to the library. They are all brand new but we don’t exactally know what to do with them. Do any libraries check out board games to patrons or do you have them available in
the library for patrons to play? Any ideas of what to do with these would be nice!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
