The Newcastle Libraries board games team (Andrew, Patrick and Chloe) are hosting another online meet-up aimed primarily at library staff who are interested in using board games in their service.Like our previous events, this is a chance for you to ask questions and share information in a fairly informal and discussion-based environment. We&#x27;re preparing to:<ul><li>hear news from people who are either planning a board games collection or managing one;</li><li>hear news from people who are planning or running board games events;</li><li>host a demonstration of one or two games that can be played via an online event -- which you are invited to take part in and try out;</li><li>share ideas for International Games Month events in November;</li><li>discuss any other games-in-libraries-related questions/topics raised by participants.</li></ul>The meet-up is scheduled for roughly 6pm-9pm but you don&#x27;t have to stay for the whole session. It&#x27;s likely to start with a round of introductions, so if you want to know who everyone else is, please try to arrive for 6pm-ish.We&#x27;ll be taking questions and topics from participants, so please let us know if you have anything you&#x27;d like to discuss. From about 8pm we&#x27;ll finish up with a round of games demonstrations.
