[Michlib-l] Circulating board game storage?

[Wendy Chapman]

We have our puzzles bagged inside the boxes currently, but I am loving
these H-bands!  I think we'll need to order some.  Also, regarding board
games, I put individual sets of pieces into small jewelry/snack size ziploc
bags and label them with what should be in there.  It's particularly
important for games like Monopoly with a lot of small pieces that can
get lost easily and makes it easier to check over at check in.
