I know Game Nights are virtually ubiquitous in libraries nowadays, especially with the hip libraries, but I really must brag about our Game Night.

 

Game Night Lives, the sixth biannual UNCG Game Night, was on January 30, 2009 in the Reading Room of Jackson Library. It was probably the biggest and easily the most stress-free. We are getting to be experts at planning this event after having five under our belts, but this one was a blow-out. We haven’t got the stats yet, but there were over 150 students. We also had a larger variety of games–from the usual vids to board games to card games.

Although we do a bit of organizing, most of the planning comes together in a very anarchic, slightly disorganized fashion. We depend heavily on the students to show up and bring the noise. We also never, ever dictate what they can play or how the event is to run. I LOVE that. Controlled anarchy in the library … just for a night.
