Board Game Club boxes to land in 100 libraries across the country ahead of Easter
Following a stellar response from games companies and huge interest from libraries, Playtime PR will be delivering the first wave of Board Game Club boxes to libraries across the country later this month.
The initiative, which aims to increase access to play for local communities through their libraries, will see the first Board Game Club boxes making their way to 100 public libraries across the length and breadth of the country. Each box contains 11 brilliant board games from Asmodee, Big Potato, Gibsons, Imagination Games, Orchard Toys, Ridley’s Games and Spin Master.
“Almost a third of the signed-up libraries plan to use the Board Game Club boxes to refresh their existing games collections, while nearly a quarter say they’ll use the games to establish a new Board Game Club at their library”

“The response by both games companies and libraries has been phenomenal” says Ceriann Smith, Director of Strategy & Creative at Playtime PR.
“Almost a third of the signed-up libraries plan to use the Board Game Club boxes to refresh their existing games collections, while nearly a quarter say they’ll use the games to establish a new Board Game Club at their library. It’s great to see such a strong appetite for games in library settings. We’d like to extend massive thanks to all the games companies that have come on board to help this initiative – we couldn’t do it without their generous support.”
Games companies interested in supporting wave two of the project, which will run in the Autumn and will open up the initiative to even more libraries throughout the country, should contact libraries@playtimepr.com
