Meerbusch City Library Introduces New Board Game Collection
The Meerbusch City Library has expanded its offerings to include a crazy games collection, aimed at fostering healthy social and cognitive development. The collection, which is part of the library's existing game collection that includes Nintendo Switch and PlayStation consoles, can be found on the ground floor at Dr.-Franz-Schütz-Platz.
The responsible person for managing and marketing the new news collection is not explicitly named in the available information. For details, contacting the Stadtbibliothek Meerbusch directly via their email ([email protected]) or phone number (02132 - 916 448) is recommended.
The collection is divided into two categories: games for children up to age 8 and those for people aged 8 and above. These games are suitable for family evenings, school classes, and groups, and are seen as a means to connect generations, foster social skills, and strengthen strategic thinking and communication abilities.
Games are considered an important building block for healthy social and cognitive development. Studies show that playing board games has positive effects on the development of children and young people, fostering team spirit, patience, problem-solving skills, and fairness. Furthermore, they promote relaxation and strengthen a sense of community, beneficial for adults as well.
The library's new collection includes games for both young and old, with titles suitable for various age groups and interests. Lara Döberitz, a library employee, manages the board game collection. Bettina Schüren, the library director, emphasizes the cultural significance of board games and states that the library's game offerings provide diverse opportunities for cultural experiences.
To learn more about the new board game collection, contact the library team via email (stadt bibliothek@unsere Stadt) or by phone (02132 - 916 448) during opening hours. A game event is scheduled for Saturday, September 20, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM, where new and classic games can be discovered and tested. This event is free of charge and no registration is required.
Games can be borrowed for 14 days each with a valid library card and renewed. Reservations for games are also possible. It's worth noting that games can also be played on-site at the city library. The library's expansion of offerings is in response to numerous requests from users.
In conclusion, the Meerbusch City Library's new board game collection offers a fun and engaging way to foster social skills, strategic thinking, and cultural experiences for all ages. Whether you're a seasoned board game enthusiast or new to the world of board games, the library's collection has something for everyone.
