UNO Libraries is home the Creative Production Lab (CPL), a modern space for bringing your wildest ideas to life. Alongside games by publishing companies, you'll also find games made by everyday users just like you on our shelves, using Creative Commons as a means to sharing, exploring, playing, and creating games in the spirit of collaboration.
In addition to checking out games and game consoles, there are ways to share your love of games with others. The library often holds or participates in game-related events.
