UNSW Gameplayers Society

Club Library

The club has a library of games and roleplaying material available for members to borrow. Borrowing is free for members however some items may require a bond at the librarian's discretion.

Borrowing

To borrow a game, you'll need to email the club librarian which is a job done by one of the executive members (currently Greg and Lucy, the Secretary and Treasurer respectively).

Donating

We readily accept donations! If you have an old game you no longer play then consider donating it to the club so that all the club members can play it. Email us to discuss donating something. The club is also happy to buy games from you if we deem them particularly good. You may need to talk to our treasurer about it.

Requesting

As a member you can propose a new game be bought for the club library. It will go to a vote on our mailing list and if it succeeds, we'll buy it. We're eager to expand our club library.
