In November, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library is excited to participate in International Games Month! What started back in 2007 as a one-day event has now grown into an international, month-long phenomenon, celebrated in places as far reaching as Australia, Italy, and Norway. While International Games Month may have humble beginnings, it has now become an important way in which libraries can connect to their communities around the globe.
However, you don’t have to travel all the way to Australia to get in on the action. Library branches across Mecklenburg County will have different events happening all month long! Check out book boxes, learn how to battle with Pokémon, or brush up on your chess skills. There will be chances to play popular role-playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons, as well as to relax with classic board games.
If you’re looking to learn more about your favorite games, check out this list of books that cover everything from board games to Mario. Maybe you’re looking for snack recipes that will level up your next board game night? Check out this list here of awesome cookbooks that are sure to impress your friends. Have you finished your favorite video game and wish you could play more? Check out these titles that are all based on popular video games!
As always, the best place to find all the details for upcoming programs at your local branch is the calendar of events.
We look forward to you visiting our libraries and playing some games!
