LibraryTechtonics

Here’s a shout out to my D&D peeps, mad props for your shiny skillz.

I meant to post this before ALA, because I received the Libraries@Random before I went to Washington. Because, you know, D&D is gaming, too.

Dungeons & Dragons @ Your Library!

Most of you know about Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), but in case you’re not familiar with this phenomenon, it is a huge hit with teens and adults! D&D is an ongoing activity played with books, paper and pencils, and it requires creativity, imagination, and cooperation (with a bit of math and reading thrown in).

For more information on hosting a D&D event and for fantastic giveaways, visit the Wizards of the Coast Booth #2947 at ALA!

Resources are available at www.wizards.com/dndlibrary and you can email Wizards of the Coast directly for information at dndlibrary(at)wizards(dot)com.

I particularly love the “How D&D taught me to use the library” bit, but I kinda hate that the documents are .pdf files in .zip files. That aside, low-tech gaming is still very cool. Enjoy!
