Library to Participate in International Games Day

Tompkins County Public Library will join more than 1,000 libraries around the world in a celebration of games, play, learning and libraries, November 15 during International Games Day 2014.

Community members of all ages and interests are invited to join the gaming movement by visiting TCPL for a variety of online, board and role playing games.  Featured games include, Magic the Gathering, Pathfinder and Minecraft.

Minecraft competitions will be held throughout the day, with game-related prizes for winners.

International Games Day was launched by the American Library Association in 2009 to celebrate the commitment of public libraries to culture sharing and information.  Libraries world-wide participate by offering gaming events of varying sizes and levels of sophistication.

TCPL’s gaming celebration will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the Library’s BorgWarner Community Room.  It is free and open to the public.  Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
