When are video games not fun? When libraries stress over how to best
implement them! 

 

In this webinar you'll learn how to entertain teens and adults with
computers your library already owns, the many different kinds of games
currently available, and just what makes a gaming party a success. 

 

Along the way we'll also discuss how to dispel misconceptions and convince
reluctant librarians and members of the public that gaming is a valid form
of library programming that is here to stay. 

 

At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to: 

 

.         Better connect with parts of the community that enjoy gaming. 

.         Turn the library's existing equipment into a cost-effective gaming
set-up. 

.         Recognize and address concerns about gaming from the community or
within the library. 

 

Speaker:  Fred Baerkicher.  Fred Baerkircher is head of Adult Public
Services at the Twinsburg Public Library in Ohio. Since earning his MLIS in
2005, he has worked with gaming in a variety of forms at libraries using
numerous titles. He also teaches computer classes to audiences of widely
varying experience.
