    Hi,

    I want to remind everyone to register for International Games Day if you haven't already. 

    If you need advise or help with this event at your library, please ask in this space or feel free to email me directly. This event is a great way to get your library started with tabletop and video gaming.

    Thanks,

    Diane Robson

    Hello,

     

    I am trying to do IGD at my library for the first time this year.  I was wondering if you guys had a starters guide especially since the librarygamingtollkit.org doesn't exist anymore.

     

    Thanks,

    Teresa

    We are investigating getting that information made available again. A good alternative is the Facebook page for International Games Day http://www.facebook.com/nationalgamingday ! Helpful hints and ideas are being added daily to this page and maybe something on there can help you get your first event started.
