The University of the Philippines commemorates the struggle of its members who stood at the forefront of the resistance to Martial Law during the administration of President Ferdinand E. Marcos.

Got a board game at home that deserves another round? The CHE Library is calling for donations as we build our Library Leisure and Wellness Collection, a collection designed to give students opportunities to pause, play, connect, de-stress, and recharge.

We welcome board games, card games, puzzles, and other recreational games suitable for shared library use. We’d be happy to give them a new home at the library!

Looking for ideas on what to donate? Check out our List of Suggested Board Games and Card Games here: https://www.fun.com/best-selling-board-games-all-time.html

Pre-loved games are welcome! We only ask that donated items are clean, usable, and preferably complete with their essential pieces.

Ready to play it forward? Visit the CHE Library and approach any of our library staff to hand in your donation.

Your game could be someone’s next well-deserved study break.
