Library to Host Role Playing Gaming for Teens

In celebration of Summer Reading 2017, Tompkins County Public Library will host “Game On Summer: Worldbuilding,” a special program for tween and teen role-playing game enthusiasts, Mondays, July 17 through August 28 from 3 to 5 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room.

Hosted by Teen Services Librarian Regina DeMauro and Library Page Joah Bierkamper, these free sessions will focus on worldbuilding for RPGs, such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Burning Wheel, and World of Darkness. Teens will have an opportunity to run and join games while connecting with other gamers.

“Game on Summer: Worldbuilding” is being held in conjunction with the “Build a Better World” Teen Summer Reading Program. “Build a Better World” participants earn books and prizes by tracking the time they spend reading this summer.

Teens interested in learning more about worldbuilding and fantasy writing are encouraged to join TCPL’s “Build a Better World Fantasy Gaming Intensive,” July 10 through July 13.
