    Hello all.  My name is Josh Carlson, I'm currently the Director of Youth Services at Utica Public Library in Utica, NY.  Recently I started a Facebook group for Librarians who play or are interested in Magic: the Gathering, though I am considering changing the name/focus to be more "broad" for tabletop-based gaming in general. 


    Part of my goal is that I would like to organize some sort of meet and play during PLA this year.  Thoughts on that?
