It’s great to see how many people are genuinely excited about seeing board games in a public library setting

Gee, that sounds like it would last long
Aaron Ortiz
Presumably they're renting the games and letting people take them home.
While it's not a terrible idea, my only concern would be how the hell you'd make sure the games stayed complete. It's easy enough to lose components with games you own, let alone ones people are expected to rent. I suppose you could check the games every time, but with a complex game it'd be very easy to miss a single lost component, and hard to tell who'd actually lost it when it was finally discovered.

>She gets fired for misallocations of funds
How would you fix this?
Lucas Miller
Also, who the fuck is so poor that they have to rent board games?
Brody Ortiz
That kind of comment just makes you seem like kind of a cunt. Big, complex board games you might only play once a year make perfect sense to rent out, as does smaller family games for people without much money, storage space or regular opportunities to play. As a concept it's perfectly reasonable, it's just the practical side that concerns me.

How many times must this happen before we start asking the hard questions?
John Hall
If you have to ask that question you honestly have no business sense and should continue throwing your paychecks at MTG singles

board games these days have so many bits that if you rented them youd have no way of knowing if it was missing components
Jackson Ross
Libraries over here rent board games, and it works perfectly fine. Worrying about missing pieces is like worrying returned books missing some pages, completely unwarranted since someone checks that the games are returned in order.
Cameron Mitchell
Consider asking the Library security guard to move the machine gun nests to watch the obstacle course.

My local library has had a boardgame collection for the five years I've been here. You borrow the games, but don't leave the library with them. There's a cafe area where people play.

Imagine being a librarian today. IMAGINE!
>In recent months, so-called "drug tourists" -- people who travel from as far as Detroit and Wisconsin seeking heroin -- started showing up in Kensington, which boasts perhaps the purest heroin on the East Coast, library staff and authorities said.
>Heroin users camped out in McPherson Square Park and shot up in the library's bathroom, where nearly a half-dozen people overdosed over the past 18 months, said branch manager and children's librarian Judith Moore.

Long as there's a specific room so it doesn't disrupt people's reading that's fine.
Jace Sanchez
My library has started a no singles policy. Which makes no sense to me, I mean, chads are like the 15 of the userbase.
Thomas Torres
So is this what the libraries have degenerated in the new world?
Bentley Anderson
Used to work as a librarian. We had people come in for game nights and other things (study groups, meetings, etc.). We had a few small rooms we'd rent out to groups like that. No charge or anything, just gotta book the room and have a library card. The rooms were sound proofed and worked pretty well. We didn't rent out board games, but we had some rpg manuals and supplements in our collection for the local gamers. It was pretty nice.

I work in a library. People will just steal the pieces.Or unattended kids will eat them or something.
Xavier Davis
My public library has a lot of small group study rooms with projector and stuff. And I don’t think this is uncommon
