    Are you going to ALA this year? Take a break from the hustle and bustle of sessions and give some of your time to GameRT! There are three opportunities for volunteering. Want to be a game shepherd? We got that. Want to rub elbows with other gamer librarians? You can do that too. We got it all, but we sure could use a little bit of you.

    Now that the Official Schedule for ALA Annual is out, take a look at the sessions you want to attend, and consider spending some of your free time volunteering for GameRT!

    So I don't know if it was just me, but those links go through facebook before getting to the form. If give a big warning about the danger and stuff. Attached an image.

     

    If I wasn't a part of this group, I would think it was a weird lie and just not follow through. Can we get updated links?

    Hey Teresa, thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! I had copied over the text from a Facebook post, and Facebook had altered the hyperlinks. The hyperlinked text is the right web address, but the direct had been changed to go through Facebook. I will edit the above post to update those links right now. Thanks again!

    EDIT: Those links have been fixed! Thanks!

    I'm crashing at my in-laws place, a bit over an hour away, but I'll try to get there as early as possible to help out.
