Small Boxes and Big Fun: Starting a Board Game Collection
Small Boxes and Big Fun: Starting a Board Gaming Collection, presented by John Pappas
Board gaming is entering a golden age with wonderfully crafted games coming out daily by board game publishers large and small, as well as from individual designers. This leads to a large amount of diversity and choice in the board games space when trying to develop a circulating board game collection or choosing which games to include in a gaming group. This talk will discuss the basics of organizing a modern board game group (any ages) including tips on moderating, teaching, and promoting the group while providing a welcoming and safe space for new and emerging gamers. Additionally, the mechanics (the inner workings of the games), genres, and the themes of games will be reviewed and discussed. The talk will end in a presentation of a starter kit of inexpensive and fun board games which will get your library's collection started for less than $150. The cost of getting into the board gaming hobby does not have to be prohibitive if the right games are purchased and the proper partnerships fostered.
Gaming evolution
This document discusses the evolution of games from early genres to future virtual worlds. It summarizes key game genres including action, fighting, role-playing, and sports.

AbleGamers and the Inevitability of Inclusive Gaming
AbleGamers promotes the many benefits of developing highly accessible gaming software, whereby disabled gamers have brand new outlets for everything from esteem-building escapism to social experiences. Gaming as an entertainment medium and culturally vital art form has seen a vast increase in the diversity of players in recent years, however many gamers with special needs can have a difficult time enjoying it. In this talk, I discussed how we reach out to developers about making their games more accessible. I also detailed some of the best examples of accessible games, explained how engineering options for disabled gamers can be very simple, and got into the business advantages of reaching a wide gamer audience.
AbleGamers And The Inevitability of Inclusive Gaming
The document discusses Johnny Richardson and his work as the Director of Industry Outreach for AbleGamers, a foundation dedicated to making games and entertainment software more accessible. AbleGamers provides various services and resources to support disabled gamers and developers, such as player support, consulting for developers, and hosting accessibility events. Richardson advocates that accessibility features do not significantly increase development costs and outlines best practices developers can implement, such as remappable keys and camera options. He argues that the disabled community represents a large untapped market and that accessibility is an important ethical issue.
The Golden Gamers: A 65+ Library Gaming Group
"The Golden Gamers" Equitable and Inclusive Gaming Events for the Elderly presented by John Pappas
Tabletop board gaming is a creative, multi-generational, social and fun activity. While there is a broad swatch of recreational activities for the 65+ crowd, generally gaming is left out. Conversations with the Senior Activities Board of the Upper Darby Libraries confirmed this with traditional video games providing an engaging experience but accessibility tends to be a challenge due to physical determinants (carpal tunnel, poor eyesight, arthritis) and experiential (with a large learning curve required for many video games). Tabletop board games provide an experience that is interactive, social, cognitive and engaging. With concerns over Alzheimer's and social isolation, this is an important subject for many seniors. The Primos Library instituted a series of programs "Tabletop Gaming at the Library" (intergenerational, weekly), The Game Designer's Guild (monthly, intergenerational) and the "Golden Gamers" (65+, Monthly-Weekly dependant upon interest) each providing a gaming experience for burgeoning and experienced gamers of any age.
In this talk, Pappas will discuss the initial planning, marketing, collection development and community engagement elements of the series as well as successes and challenges. A large portion of the talk will be on game selection for this age group including issues such as the level of social interaction inherent in the game, types of games, levels of complexity and iconography.
Gaming in the Libraries
The document discusses gaming in libraries and its benefits. It notes that 7 out of 10 public libraries support gaming and 4 out of 10 have gaming programs, with console, computer, and online games being popular options. Gaming can benefit libraries by enhancing cognitive development and literacy skills, appealing to diverse demographics, and increasing engagement. The document provides some examples of libraries that have successfully incorporated gaming services with creative planning and limited budgets.

The Time is Now 5-8-2017
The Grafton Public Library Planning and Building Committee provided an update on plans to expand and renovate the library. They presented a conceptual design that is 14% smaller than a previous 2011 plan. To receive a state grant, the new library must house 85,000 items, seat 100 people and provide parking. Committee projections show rising library use and a need for more public computers and a meeting room. The proposed expansion would cost $16.6 million total but the town's cost would be $10 million after a $6.6 million state grant. The committee argued this is the best option financially and for the community's library needs.
