Games and Gaming Community

Listed in:

We engage those interested in games and gaming activities in libraries of all kinds and to collaborate with ALA units to support gaming initiatives and programs across the Association. Games, as defined in their broadest sense, include traditional and modern board, card, video, mobile, computer, live-action, role-playing, and miniature games. Gaming activities include planning and running gaming programs, providing games for informal play, developing a game collection, creating games, development of information and other literacies through games, and partnering with other community organizations to support gaming, will be topics for professional exploration.

DiscussionHow Can We Involve Academic & School Libraries More in NGD2009?

by Jenny Levine (staff) on Fri, 04/10/2009 - 7:59am

Hi, Everyone --

It's never too early to start planning now for National Gaming Day 2009, which will take place on November 14 this year. Last year's event was aimed primarily at public libraries, in part because it took place on a Saturday.

This year's event is again on a Saturday, but we're looking for ways we can make it a longer event that starts during the week so that we can involve more academic and school libraries. Help us brainstorm - what kinds of things can we do this year?

Thanks!
Jenny
