Posted on behalf of Pam Gunther, Vice-President of the NJ Association of School Librarians and chair of our upcoming fall conference.  Please respond directly to ...@gmail.com">2012...@gmail.com. Please excuse the cross-postings.

 We are hoping to have a gaming room set up during the fall NJSIL conference staffed with young people who would be willing to demonstrate some of the latest games and give our attendees the opportunity to try them out.  I am looking for a source from which to borrow gaming equipment and programs, as well as young people who would be available to demonstrate and teach our attendees how to use some of the games. I know Friday is a school day but perhaps you know of some young college students who may have a more flexible schedule.

Our conference is scheduled from Nov. 29-Dec. 1 at Ocean Place Resort in Long Branch. Friday from 8am to 6 pm usually has the heaviest attendance and Saturday will run from 8am to 3pm. Thursday is a pre-conference and would be the optimal time to set up the gaming room. Our school librarians mostly attend on Friday but Sat is open to administrators, teachers, and public librarians as well so your programs would reach a wide audience.

Please let me know if you are able to work with us. We have never tried this before but anticipate that it may be quite popular. Thank you.

Pam
