International Games Month: Yard Game Day

We're having fun in the yard today! Join us as we play ring-toss, skee ball and many others! Rainy days won't stop the fun either because we'll just have that outside fun indoors!

ABOUT INTERNATIONAL GAMES MONTH
National Games Day was started by Jenny Levine and Scott Nicholson in 2007. This free event grew out of an idea to attempt to set a world’s record for the number of people playing the same game at the same time at libraries around the world. National Games Day became International Games Day (IGD) in 2012, International Games Week (IGW) in 2017, and finally International Games Month (IGM) in 2022. It has grown to include events on all seven continents. Even today, it is still raising awareness of games and gaming in libraries to publishers and the public. This event has become a valuable way for libraries and their communities to join together and engage in play each year.
