Update - LibGuides & Photo

  • 1.  Update - LibGuides & Photo

    Posted Jan 29, 2015 06:29 AM

    Hello everyone! I haven't posted anything since I introduced myself a year ago, but I thought I would let everyone know what I've been up to. I'm now in the third semester of my MLIS program (St. John's University), and have transitioned from Kingston to Albany (NY), where I have recently been promoted to Library Assistant. Now for the fun stuff . . . I co-authored a LibGuide on YA Dystopian Fiction, and made sure it had a game page, among other things, and also authored a LibGuide on D&D and Fantasy Fiction. Feel free to follow the links to the LibGuides, and if you have time, let me know what you think!


    I also helped institute a new game program at Albany's Howe branch, which has been running now for a few months. Here is a photo of one of our early games:



     


    We're playing the Lost Mines of Phandelver adventure from the D&D (5E) Starter Set - I'm the bald guy in the top left corner.


    I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am!
