Games at Jervis Library

Unplug & Play Game Night

On the 1st Thursday (starting June 2024) and 3rd Tuesday of each month from 5–8pm and on the 2nd Saturday (except during summer) from 10am–2:30pm, in the library auditorium, the library offers an opportunity for participants to "unplug"—put down their electronics—and play board games with live opponents. Participants can bring their own games or choose from the upstairs Unplug & Play game cart or the downstairs circulating game collection—check one out and bring it upstairs to the auditorium! Hope to see you there!

Circulating Games

The circulating game collection is now a robust collection of 150+ games and growing, split between two collections:

• Family Games (appropriate for ages 7-8 and younger) behind the Reference Desk

• All Other Games next to the stairs by the Information Desk

Mahjong for Beginners

On the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5-7pm, we'll teach you the rules of the International or "Hong Kong" variant of Mahjong. No experience necessary! If you'd like, you can read the rules ahead of time at Tom Sloper's website https://sloperama.com/mjfaq/mjfaq10.html, but this is completely optional--we're happy to teach you at the table from the ground up.
