Join Chuck Gray of Central Rappahannock Regional Library for a talk about gaming culture and how it can be incorporated into library programs. More than simply playing video games, how do lilbrary staff use gaming and its narratives, characters, ideas, and concepts to inspire creativity in children and teens. A single story line from a game might inspire fan fiction, video mashups, original music; a teen might have an idea for a story that could be made into a video game using a number of free game-building tools. This talk explores a number of subcultures surround gaming that can be taken advantage of in libraries. Bring a lunch, drop in, and get your game on.
