      Creating a circulating board game collection takes some know how and effort, as well as plenty of buy in from your staff and administration. That said, this collection can be one of the most rewarding and popular collections for families and younger adults in your library. This course will cover the steps required to begin planning your collection, games to consider, how to prepare games for circulation, and how to maintain the collection once it gets started.
