Viewfinder: National Gaming Day Offers Family Fun

Over 50 people came out to join the and communities across the United States for the American Library Association’s fourth annual National Gaming Day on Saturday, Nov. 12.

“Libraries aren’t just about books—we help to foster a learning environment," Jennifer Wells, Youth and Media Services Coordinator at the Central Library, said.

Activities scheduled at the Central Library included board games, video games and scavenger hunts.

"If children come in to play games, we know that they might check out the great resources we have while they’re here.”

Sponsored by FamilyandPartyGames.com, the event aims to reconnect communities through their libraries around the educational, recreational and social value of all types of games.
