Hey, folks - here is a proposed budget to be discussed at the next meeting. We have a projected surplus of about $2,900, and need to decide what we want to apply it to, or whether we want to let a part of that roll into our endowment (the rest would be swallowed up by ALA). We could splurge at the Conference, ...

That's very clever! Well, Mancala is ancient and originated in Africa, with people using setups as simple as rocks in depressions dug into the ground. Checkers and Go - same deal, just need a board/crosshatched play area and two different colors of stones. Escape games - those generally are based ...

Hello, folks - an update regarding the Trivia Championship: In discussion with RUSA and NMRT, we're looking to fold it together with the NMRT ALA Annual Social - it would follow immediately after, and would steer more people towards it, while still keeping the same time slot.

Hey, folks - I have an opportunity for LibLearnX - there has been some discussion about holding a "LibPlayX" event - basically a mini-Play - and I was looking at a potential venue for something cheap and informal, where we just meet up and hang out for games.
