Zach S. Henderson Library kicked off National Library Week with a video and board game meetup in the brand new Educational Gaming Center on the second floor. National Library Week, from April 7-13, is about recognizing how libraries can strengthen communities and showing gratitude to librarians and library staff. 

Join Georgia Southern University in the celebration by visiting the library and checking out the new gaming set-up, educational exhibits, and completing a scavenger hunt to receive a small gift and be entered into a raffle for the chance of a bigger prize.

At the gaming meetup, patrons signed in to the event and got to fill out a survey for a chance to win a prize from the library. Attendees got to pick from snacks like doughnuts, granola bars and sweet tea while they competed with each other in board games like “Codenames,” and went head to head on the new switch console playing “Super Smash Bros”. 

Over a dozen Nintendo Switch games are available for checkout through the library, as well as board games that you can browse through online, and checkout at the second-floor circulation desk.

Don’t forget to grab a friend and pick up a scavenger hunt worksheet at the circulation desk. Turn it in by 7 P.M. on Thursday, April 11 to receive a small prize and be entered into a raffle for an even bigger prize!
