What's Up Wednesday Webinar
Date: Wednesday, January 29, 2020
Time: 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. EST
Quick Play Gaming for Teen Outreach - Presented by Jennifer Taylor, Hagerstown Public Library
Teen
patrons in every community live lives that are more and more hectic with little
spare time and sometimes shrinking awareness of libraries and what they have to
offer. It is sometimes the case that to engage them the best thing to do is to
go where they are. In the community of Hagerstown, IN, a significant part of
that has been accomplished by going into the high school and with the
development of a program called the Quick Play Game Club. The program began
over three years ago, originally as an International Gaming Day event that was
highly successful, working in partnership with the school.
This
webinar will cover how the game club began, the process of working with the
school staff and finding a place in that very set daily schedule and how it has
evolved into a twice monthly outreach program, the games used and the tips and
rules that have made it fun for everyone.
(No need to travel to the Indiana
State Library, you can attend from the comfort of your own library!)
