We have so many board and card games at the library!

Bring your friends, family, or just come alone to join others in playing board games at the library on selection in front of the circulation desk at Lihue Library.

Board games can be fun and stress-relieving, unless you’re like us and turn the tables over when you start to lose. Kidding! We are all good sports here at the library. Come play your favorites or discover a fun, new game.

Also available is the community puzzle located on the large, wooden table in the Hawaiian and Pacific reading section of the library. Bring your puzzle skills and assist in completing our community puzzle so that we may frame it and add it to the wall.
