A Librarian's Guide to Attending GenCon    1 LEU

Presented by Jennifer Taylor, Hagerstown Public Library

GenCon is the largest tabletop-game convention in North America that occurs annually in Indianapolis, Indiana and is contracted to continue happening in Indiana at least through 2023. This webinar will be presented by someone who has attended the convention in a multitude of hats; as a spectator, as a game-player, as a librarian taking advantage of the opportunities of Trade Day and as an event presenter. The webinar will cover a variety of basic information for attending and participating in the convention, whether you consider yourself a gamer or just a curious librarian.

 (No need to travel to the Indiana State Library, you can attend from the comfort of your own library!)
