Are you planning to attend the ALA Annual Conference later this month in Washington DC? If so, it looks like there’s going to be lots of gaming-related activities available as the Games and Gaming Roundtable (GameRT) has posted a schedule of all the events they’re hosting at the big event:

ALA Play
The Games and Gaming Roundtable invites you to the 11th annual ALAPlay on Friday, June 21st from 7:30 pm until 10:00 pm at the Renaissance in the Grand Ballroom North. This event offers a free evening of gaming, exploration, and learning.

Gaming Lounge
ALA and the Games and Gaming Roundtable invite you to join us in the Gaming Lounge (Booth 3639) on the exhibit floor, a hands-on interactive oasis of gaming amidst the sea of exhibits.

Gaming Grove
The Gaming Grove (Booths 3633 A-J) gives you the opportunity to meet many of the leading game publishers in a small, informal setting. You will have the time to talk with them about their games and how gaming can be an excellent resource and programming tool for your library.

Presidents Program
Join GameRT on Saturday, June 22 at 2:30 p.m. for the Games and Gaming Round Table President’s Program. In two presentations, speakers will discuss the practical needs of managing game collections in libraries and using free gaming software to develop programming and teach coding skills.
