This semester the MU Libraries piloted two evenings of Board Game Night in Ellis Library as a new way to engage students in the library. The first was in February and the second took place on April 9th. Both events were small, but definitely a success! Students came and enjoyed an evening of meeting new people and learning new games. Students played games such as Ticket to Ride, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Word Dominoes, Bang and many others. Each evening had different games as student and staff brought games from home to share and play.
The students who came really appreciated the efforts of the library to provide this event, and they asked who they needed to talk to in order to make these more frequent! So we know this is something the students would like to see in the future.
As coordinator of these evenings, I would like to thank everyone who helped make these events possible.
