National Gaming Day at....your library?

[Queasy]

Link - They'll have video games and board games. Kind of interesting. Of course, none of the libraries in my area are participating. I'd have to go to the other side of Atlanta...

On November 15, 2008, libraries across the country will participate in the largest, simultaneous national video game tournament ever held! Kids will be able to compete against players at other libraries and see their scores in real-time online while playing at their local library.

But gaming in libraries isn?t just about video games. Hasbro is donating a copy of its game Pictureka! to every public library branch in the U.S. so that we can set a record for the most number of people playing a board game on the same day! Top Trumps and Wizards of the Coast are also donating games. The goals of this event are to:

* Raise awareness about the use of games as a library program;
* Expose people to a new type of board game;
* Establish connections between local board game groups and the library.

That is really awesome. This is great exposure for the gaming community to be taken a bit more serious.

It needs more exposure? Isn't it all over the headlines already? Didn't California and Florida just outlaw game marriage? I thought the Southern CA game community was rioting earlier...
