Game On: Games in Libraries was created in 2005 as a supplement to the Google LibGaming email group, a forum for discussion of gaming in libraries. Thanks to our contributors, who included Kelly Czarnecki, Matt Gullett, John Scalzo, and Jami Schwarzwalder.
I've been invited to blog for ALA; please visit http://gaming.ala.org/news for news about all types of gaming in all types of libraries.
Thanks for reading!

About Me
- Beth Gallaway
- Librarian. Mom. Foodie. I'm a librarian who owns an eBook reader and promotes videogaming as the next wave of storytelling. These days, I'm cooking a lot of things from scratch, writing book reviews, editing movie reviews, poking around farmer's market (and lately, eschewing them for going directly TO the farm) and thinking about a CSA for next year, stargazing, running around barefoot in the summer, putting things in Mason jars (dried herbs, flour bouquets, candied nuts, hot tea) and reading. I've stepped back from a wild and crazy travel-filled consultancy and sticking closer to home to raise my daughter (just when I got an invitation to speak in Mayalasia, darn it!)

We started Get your Game On, Gaming @your library in April 2008 with a borrowed wii and Guitar Hero II.This past month our TAG group presented to the Friends group hoping to get additional funds to add to their $500 and purchase equipment for our branch. After a well put together presentation by three teens, the Friends voted to give them double their own savings, $1000.Our library now owns both a Wii and PS3 plus games and controllers. The first event with both had 35 teens turn up and was so successful we will be doing this bi-monthly.
