Choppin’ wood in The Wood Man<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a night off last night, I had the pleasure of going to a very cool program called ALAplay<\/a>. I learned about some new boardgames, such as Catan Junior and The Wood Man. There was also graphic novels, demos, and an explanation of 3D printing.<\/p>\n

This isn’t my first experience with ALAplay. In 2009, I was an MLIS student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I came to ALA 2009 as a prospective librarian and found ALAplay. What a great time!<\/p>\n

Catan Jr.: the beginner’s Settlers of Catan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As ALA staff, I experience the ALA Annual Conference in a much different way than members do. I love what I do and seeing members enjoy programs at Annual is a real thrill for me, but sometimes it can hard to relax after a long day as I would on a typical Friday playing board games with friends. ALAplay was as relaxing as it gets!<\/p>\n

Big thanks to the Games and Gaming Round Table as well as the Graphic Novels Members Interest Group, but putting on this event!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
