CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS
We are seeking contributing authors who would like to author projects in an
upcoming book 50 Gaming Programs for Libraries, edited by Ellyssa Kroski to be
published by The American Library Association.
50+ Gaming Programs for Libraries will be a one-stop handbook for how to plan,
organize, and run all types of gaming events in libraries. Programs will range
from tabletop gaming activities such as Dungeons and Dragons to family game
nights, trivia events, and chess tournaments, to classic and modern video
games, and even live action games such as LARPs and escape rooms. Programs
encompassing new technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality
(VR), and even Blockchain games will also be included. Programs will also
consist of those that instruct patrons how to design their own games.
Each program will include step-by-step instructions, a materials and equipment
list, budget, and recommendations for age ranges and type of library. Programs
will range in cost, topic, and difficulty so there will be something for every
size and type of library. This book will provide real-world programming ideas
for public, school, and academic libraries. This will be an A-Z guidebook for
how to implement these types of events.
Publication Date: Mid 2020
