Games@theLibrary 2010
Yes, APLA is sponsoring Games@theLibrary again in October 2010!
About Games@theLibrary
During the week of October 18-24, 2010, APLA is sponsoring Games@theLibrary Week. What does this mean? Anytime during that week, we encourage all libraries in Atlantic Canada, inlcuding public library branches of all shapes and sizes and academic libraries, to host a "game themed" event.
Events can range from board games and chess, to trivia and scavenger hunts, to video games. Events can be geared towards specific groups or the whole community. Larger public libraries may consider having separate events for kids, tweens & teens, or seniors. You are limited only by your imagination and energy levels! Our goal is to show that libraries are places where people meet, learn, and have fun.
Grand Prize: Nintendo Wii
One lucky winner in Atlantic Canada will be taking home a Nintendo Wii gaming system! Be sure to register the participants from your branch's Games@theLibrary event(s) for their chance to win. Here's how! (this link includes the official ballot form and rules for entering the contest).
