Saturday 21st November is International Games Day. This event is to highlight the fact that modern libraries are about much more than books. The annual event was started eight years ago by the American Library Association (ALA) in collaboration with the Nordic Libraries “Nordic Game Day”. This year over a thousand libraries will be showcasing games, so why not go along to your local library and, if they aren’t participating, suggest they join in next year!
