The Library for Public Games is a collection of games that can be drawn and played in public space by anyone. The games are accessible online at the Play Institute's website, along with rules and installation instructions. The library starts from the previously created game installations Far to Close, The Rousseau Game, the I Me Ours series and takes them further. Players can choose a game to play or propose a new one, developing the library. Spaces can be specially furnished or ad-hoc, where players occupy public space with the game.
