<p><strong><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">ALA’s International Games Day Registration is open for 2015!</span></strong><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">International Games Day @ your library (IGD@yl) is an annual celebration of games, play, libraries and learning that is free for libraries!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">This event has only one requirement - you have to have some sort of game-related activity in or around your library, on or around the official date, Saturday November 21, 2015.
That's it! The games can be videogames on a library console, tabletop games, social games, party games - whatever you think will work for your individual library and community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">To register, fill out the form at <a href="http://bit.ly/IGD2015Registration" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0E436C;text-decoration:none">http://bit.ly/IGD2015Registration</span></a> and
tell us a bit about your library and your plans for the day. Early registrants can choose corporate donated games and also sign up for some international inter-library events that will give your community the chance to connect to other library communities
in other parts of the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">This is a world-wide event, with libraries on ALL SEVEN continents participating. Yes, that does include Antarctica! How's that for a great way to spark conversations about the
importance, power and ubiquity of libraries?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black">On our website, <a href="http://igd.ala.org/"><span style="color:#0E436C;text-decoration:none">http://igd.ala.org</span></a>, we have a blog, which publishes updates weekly on a
range of topics to help inspire ideas, discussion, and of course learning around games and play, and a great press kit with posters and materials to help you promote the day in your library (<a href="http://igd.ala.org/library-press-kit/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#0E436C;text-decoration:none">http://igd.ala.org/library-press-kit/</span></a>).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
