Just a quick note that I’ll be giv­ing a pre­sen­ta­tion in Sec­ond Life tomor­row (Fri­day, April 18) at 11:00 a.m. CDT on ALA Island to cel­e­brate gam­ing @ your library day. It’s free, it’s in-world, it’ll be a fun time. Then after­wards, I get to play games at work, as ALA staff cel­e­brate gam­ing by tak­ing a break to play board, video, and social games.

To cel­e­brate gam­ing in libraries, you can also lis­ten to the first episode of the new Games in Libraries Pod­cast. It’s a monthly pod­cast where experts in dif­fer­ent aspects of gam­ing and libraries present seg­ments about dif­fer­ent pro­grams, gam­ing prod­ucts, and other news from the gam­ing indus­try rel­e­vant to libraries. I hope to con­tribute to future episodes, but Scott Nichol­son is the dri­ving force behind it, and with names like Eli Neiburger, Beth Gall­away, Chris Har­ris, and Kelly Czar­necki involved, you know it’s going to be good.

Adden­dum: The slides from my talk are now avail­able on my pre­sen­ta­tions wiki. This was fun — thank you to every­one that came!
