National Gaming Day At Your Library Sets New Date

by Rainier on Oct. 8, 2010 @ 9:06 a.m. PDT

Hundreds of libraries across the country will join the American Library Association (ALA) in celebrating the popularity and educational value of video and board games during National Gaming Day @ your library on November 13, 2010.

Why celebrate gaming? Studies of adult gaming found that patrons who attended gaming events at the library were more open to using other library services. Also, libraries report young users who have come to the library to play games come back to use other free resources, such as homework help programs.

For more information on gaming events taking place in your community, please contact your local library.
