Reference and Outreach Librarian California History Section, CA State Library Sacramento, CA
What happens when you take materials from your local history or special collections and turn them into a game loosely inspired by Dungeons and Dragons? You get an immersive and engaging experience for your participants. This quick 10-minute active-learning exercise is the perfect alternative to a traditional library tour or show-and-tell table at a community outreach event. Ideal as an icebreaker or an out-of-the-box library tour, this talk will show you how to adapt this activity with your library's collections.
