Hope you will join us!

*ALA’s International Games Day Registration is open for 2015!*

International Games Day @ your library (IGD at yl) is an annual celebration of
games, play, libraries and learning that is free for libraries!

This event has only one requirement - you have to have some sort of
game-related activity in or around your library, on or around the official
date, Saturday November 21, 2015. That's it! The games can be videogames on
a library console, tabletop games, social games, party games - whatever you
think will work for your individual library and community.

To register, fill out the form at http://bit.ly/IGD2015Registration and
tell us a bit about your library and your plans for the day. Early
registrants can choose corporate donated games and also sign up for some
international inter-library events that will give your community the chance
to connect to other library communities in other parts of the world.

This is a world-wide event, with libraries on ALL SEVEN continents
participating. Yes, that does include Antarctica! How's that for a great
way to spark conversations about the importance, power and ubiquity of
libraries?

On our website, http://igd.ala.org, we have a blog, which publishes updates
weekly on a range of topics to help inspire ideas, discussion, and of
course learning around games and play, and a great press kit with posters
and materials to help you promote the day in your library (
