Presented July 23, 2007
"Game environments for traditional and modern board games, card games, RPGs, or
even electronic games are not the traditional domain of libraries. Games are, by
and large, an interactive activity. Formal and informal communities have
developed around board games, card games, RPGs (role playing games), or even
electronic games.

Dennis will discuss outreach to local clubs, companies, area events, and game industry organizations." More info....
