A new two-day event from AASL will focus on how games encourage critical thinking, problem solving, and creative activities. Co-sponsored by the ALA Games and Gaming Round Table, GAME – Gaming As Meaningful Education –
will be held September 23-24 in Rochester, N.Y.

Attendees will explore how to implement interactive learning opportunities in their library program through all types of games. They will also discover how these strategies connect communities – students, parents, and educators – through the educational, recreational, and social value of games.

Early bird registration is open through May 1, 2016, at www.ala.org/aasl/GAME.
