    About a year ago a board member heard that GNCRT was creating an award, and thought that GameRT should have one too. Much informal discussion happened at last years ALA Annual, and the idea of creating a Hall of Fame came into being. As with all things ALA a committee was formed and they have been working tirelessly.  We are working on a Librarian Gamer Hall of Fame to highlight games that are great for use in library collections and library programming. But we need your help: What should we call the award itself?

    What should GameRT name our new Award?

     

     This form will be open until April 21 at 5:00 PM EDT, please let us know your thoughts.

    Thanks,
    George
