November 15-19 was a week of game playing during lunch in the Media Center. We were celebrating National Gaming Day, an annual event where libraries around the world encourage their patrons to play board and video games. "Games of every type play an important role in developing fundamental competencies for life. They require players to learn and follow complex sets of rules, make strategic and tactical decisions, and, increasingly, collaborate with teammates and others: all things they will have to do in college and in the workforce." — Jim Rettig, ALA President, 20082009.
