International Games Week 2020 is coming up soon! This year the week runs from 8-14 November, and ALIA is encouraging its Members to register for the week. This week is a great opportunity for libraries to introduce fun activities and raise awareness of the social and educational benefits of play.
Libraries can celebrate the week by hosting either in-person (where it is safe to do so) or virtual events.
