Libraries are one of the champions of gaming in the U.S., strangely enough. This year’s national library gaming day will be held on November 15 around the country.

Hasbro will be donating a copy of Pictureka to every library in the country, trying to achieve a world record on number of simultaneous plays for one game.

Wizards of the Coast will donate enough materials for Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: the Gathering games to 1,000 libraries.

Video games (the nice kind) will also be on the offering. Scott Nicholson of Board Games With Scott is helping organize.
