Long Description:
What happens when you take materials from your collections and turn them into a game-based learning activity loosely inspired by Dungeons and Dragons? You get an immersive and engaging experience for your participants, leaving them enriched and wanting to learn more about your collections and the history covered within. This 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, team-building activity, or an out-of-the-box library tour, this activity has broad-based appeal beyond teens and children. Of particular interest to public and special collections librarians, this talk will show you how to adapt this activity with your library's collections.
