You’ve got to hand it to librarians: they have got their stuff together. Some of the most tech-savvy people I engage with on Twitter are librarians and they know that learning and literacy are so much more than books. GeekDad readers are well aware that libraries are places that not only foster learning, but have long harbored all kinds of geeky habits and interests. So, it will be no surprise that the American Library Association is building on previous success and will have over 1800 locations and tens of thousands of people playing board games and role-playing games this Saturday, November 13.

National Gaming Day at your library promises games of all types. Libraries will offer a variety of activities throughout the day, including modern board games, traditional games (such as chess and checkers) and two national video game tournaments that will pit players at dozens of libraries against each other for bragging rights to the ultimate Rock Band and Super Smash Bros. Brawl crowns.

The success of the national day has now crossed borders with libraries all over the world signing up to be a part of the event which is not just about playing games, but focusing on how games bring people together and libraries as a social and community hub. Some libraries in France, Portugal, Canada and Argentina will also be participating.

To find out whether your local library will be rolling dice this weekend, check out the registered locations.
