We aim to run Library Open Days once a week: It's up to you how frequently you visit us to return and take out new items.
How long can I keep my items?
You can keep your items for up to four weeks.
You are always welcome to return items sooner, and take out new items. Making the most of our great games library :)
Some of our library items that are subject to a Loan Time Restriction.
Loan Time Restrictions means a game or item can only be on loan for a set number of weeks.
Any items under Loan Time Restrictions will be made clear on our website and/or when you take the items on loan.
New release titles, and high value items are most common items subject to Loan Time Restrictions. This is to allow other members to enjoy our new games and to prevent loss of our high value items.
What if I can't make it to a Library Open Day?
In most cases, we can arrange an alternative time for visits to our Office & Library.
Please contact our Team at info@morethanboardgames.co.uk to arrange this.

Late Fees & Charges
We hope to never have to charge any additional fees to any of our members, if you have outstanding items please do contact us as soon as possible to amicably arrange a return date.
Late fees are fixed at £5 per overdue week for each outstanding item.
After 4 weeks from your due return date: If we have not received your items, or you have not arranged an alternative drop off date, we will charge a Replacement Fee which is the RRP or replacement cost of each outstanding item, plus a £25 admin fee per item.
Damages & Lost Components
We check each game as it is returned to us, we will not loan games with missing pieces that affect gameplay.
Once any library items have been loaned, it’s in your care.
If items are damaged or any parts are missing we may charge you for the repair or replacement.
Determining if a game has been returned damaged or incomplete, and the value to be charged is at the discretion of More Than Board Games Community Interest Company.
If this frequently happens, we may close your account.
If you believe any components are missing or damaged from your loaned items please contact us info@morethanboardgames.co.uk
