May the 4th be with you! Did you know that Tredyffrin Public Library rents out video games?  We do! We offer a wide variety of games for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii & Wii U.  By far, the most family friendly games offered by the library are for the Wii and Wii U and none are more family friendly than the LEGO series.
