    Had a very successful morning at PLA.   Talked with Paizo.  They want to donate 50 Pathfinder beginner products for IGD.  They will also have a presence at ALA and want to demo products.

    More IGD sponsors, woo hoo!

    I have been working with Pierce from Paizo. They will be doing presentations on the exhibit floor stage at annual and they will also be a part of ALA Play again this year too. They showed off the wildly popular Pathfinder Adventure Card Game last year, well before its debut at GenCon. They plan on running that at PLAY again and perhaps their RPG beginner's box. I am thrilled that more publishers are seeing the potential for libraries and ALA as an event!

    Joshua,

     

    Can you update over on the Donation contacts in the IGD group? https://connect.ala.org/communities/community-home/librarydocuments/viewdocument?DocumentKey=e772b75b-de73-4acc-94cc-6468556b5118

    Are you working with Allan Greenberg or a different contact?

     

    Thanks,

    Teresa

    I'm so glad that Paizo's working with libraries. Our teens love their products.

    This is wonderful news!  I spoke with them at Book Expo last year and they seemed to be very library friendly.
