About

All ages welcome. Join us for an afternoon event that celebrates cultural heritage by learning and playing traditional tabletop games enjoyed the world over! Drop-in to access a variety of games such as briscola, dreidel, mahjong, ludo, mancala and others whose heritage ranges from Italian, Jewish, Chinese, Indian, Persian and more! Tabletop games will be available to play on-site only and cannot be borrowed out from the library.

You'll find the fun on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at Central Library on the 2nd floor mezzanine from 1:30 - 3:00 PM. All ages welcome. Children must be supervised by an adult. 

The Global Neighbour Series warmly welcomes individuals of all faiths and backgrounds and is intended to foster an inclusive and respectful environment of cultural sharing. These programs do not seek to proselytize but celebrate different cultures to promote mutual understanding and appreciation among all our neighbors! These games will be added to the Regina Public Library board game collection and will be available to play in library following this special event diversifying our selection for years to come.

Regina Public Library

Regina Public Library is an urban library system committed to providing community services, spaces, and technologies to inspire discovery, learning, and connection. We are an essential gateway for all people to advance themselves through literacy, lifelong learning, social engagement, and cultural enrichment.

We build relationships with other like-minded organizations and work with them to positively impact the community. Through provision of our numerous resources, we promote social vitality and economic prosperity for the people of Regina. We support, defend, and promote the universal principles of intellectual freedom and privacy.

With eight branch locations throughout the city and a Central Library downtown, we offer positive, dynamic, and inclusive spaces where people can discover, learn, and connect.

In addition to a collection of books, films, and music in traditional and digital media, our customers have access to hundreds of programs, art exhibitions, film screenings and cultural events each year.

Library resources are available to all residents of Regina, including materials from over 300 public library branches in the province, through the Saskatchewan Information and Library Services (SILS) Consortium.

Thousands of Reginans visit public library branches each year and many more access our online offerings. The people of Regina understand the value of the public library and its commitment to a democratic and universal space that welcomes diversity and encourages sharing of knowledge and information.
