Free Library Resources for Festive Family Fun

Visit a Branch for Some “We” Time

Find comfy spaces to gather with friends and family. Stop by and curl up in a chair to share a book with your child, meet up with friends to plan your neighborhood holiday party, or make some new friends while attending one of VBPL’s engaging programs for all ages.

While you’re at the library, borrow a board game to play at home! Check out an old favorite or learn a new one together. VBPL offers games like Scrabble, Ticket to Ride, Cards Against Humanity (Family Edition), Battleship, roleplaying and dice games, and more. If video games are more your style, VBPL has those too. Check out titles from Xbox, Nintendo and PlayStation to challenge your skills and keep you leveling up! Visit VBPL’s catalog to see what’s available and place your holds.
