  • 1.  Everything is On Fire Spectacular - coming up next month!

    Posted 24 days ago

    We're excited to invite you to Everything is On Fire Spectacular, a day of free virtual programming on Friday October 16, 2026 from 10a-4:30p CT.

    Join round tables of the American Library Association (GameRT, FMRT, MAGIRT, IFRT, and IRRT) for a day of interactive sessions about how libraries are surviving - and addressing - existential threats. We will discuss climate change, depictions of end-times in fiction, the precarity of digital media, and gaming out the apocalypse. It'll be fun, we swear!

    This is a free event - no registration necessary.
