National Games Day was started by Jenny Levine and Scott Nicholson in 2007. This free event grew out of an idea to attempt to set a world’s record for the number of people playing the same game at the same time at libraries around the world. National Games Day became International Games Day (IGD) in 2012 and International Games Week (IGW) in 2017. It has grown to include events on all seven continents. Even today, it is still raising awareness of games and gaming in libraries to publishers and the public. This event has become a valuable way for libraries and their communities to join together and engage in play each year.
This year we will be having gaming day @ your library on, Wednesday, November 15 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Pecan Campus Library Rainbow Room. We will have video games, board games, card games and trivia games.
