“Libraries are becoming family destinations, and are continuously offering new formats and innovative programs and services that educate, entertain and expand interaction with their users,” said Christopher Veach, director of the Lake County Library. “Gaming is yet another example of how libraries are becoming more than just educational resources for the communities that they serve. They are also places where users of all ages are welcome to have fun together. And if that fun exercises their brains, enables them to meet new people in a safe and enjoyable environment, and celebrates our community’s connection to each other and to libraries on every continent on Earth … well, that’s just the nature of games.”
International Games Day @ your library is an initiative supported by the American Library Association, the Australian Library and Information Association, and Nordic Game Day. For information on International Games Day please visit ilovelibraries.org/gaming.
