Food for Comfort and Sharing

Both solo and sharing the experience with family and friends can be rewarding.

Get Your Game On!
There are so many ways to get your game on with your family. We’ve got suggestions for games to play together virtually, or to print and play at home. You could also teach yourself a new game with a book from our collection, like chess, card games, or other board games. Or why not borrow an early literacy board game to entertain the small humans in your home?
Hockey Skates
From November through March, hockey skates can be reserved for pickup at Central Library during regular library hours. Skates can be borrowed for one day and can be kept overnight.
Kitchener Public Library members age 13+ are welcome to borrow skates. Our collection includes hockey skates in youth, junior and adult sizes. Skates are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
