International Games Day (IGD) is back to celebrate games in libraries on November 19, 2016. Games, both video and tabletop, are in a golden age of innovation and creativity. Librarians are harnessing this collaborative power and using it to engage patrons in critical thinking and immersive play.
This year’s event blog at igd.ala.org is focusing on the ways that libraries can play with little to no materials budget. Librarians interested in ways to bring games into their libraries can subscribe to the blog to receive information on ways to play, game reviews, and updates on donations from our sponsors.
Several Wyoming libraries have already signed up to participate in International Games Day. To find the one nearest to you, check the map. If your local library isn’t a participant, the site has suggestions for ways game lovers can get involved or start local participation.
