Hi, Everyone --
I'm happy to announce that we have a donor for National Gaming Day this year (preview), so I'm going to open registration and jumpstart the marketing. If you can help with the following activities, please let me know.
- Create a poster for this year's event (November 12) that libraries can print out and use
- Create new marketing materials - the ones we've recycled in the past could use some help (http://ngd.ala.org/library-press-kit/)
- Help run the @ngday Twitter account
- Help run a Facebook event page
- We're looking at running a couple of contests, one that I can't talk about just yet, and one for YouTube videos promoting gaming in libraries and NGD. If you're good at thinking up ideas for these kinds of things and coordinating them, we'd love your help.
- We've discussed creating some kind of a game every library could play for NGD, so if you're good at creating something like this, please raise your hand.
- Anything else you can think of to help take NGD up a notch this year
Eventually GameRT groups will take over many of these activities, but this year I need volunteers, especially since I'm behind in the schedule. I'll really need help marketing to both libraries and the public in order to increase our numbers from last year.
Thanks!
Jenny
