National Games and Libraries Project

A National Leadership Grant project exploring how games-based approaches can expand library innovation, community engagement, and digital inclusion.

Why This Work Matters

Libraries are evolving alongside the communities they serve. Games — both analog and digital — offer powerful tools for learning, connection, and civic participation. Yet many libraries lack research-informed frameworks for implementing games-based services sustainably and equitably.

This project brings together national partners to examine how gaming can strengthen library programs, outreach strategies, and community impact.


What This Project Will Deliver

  • A comprehensive research report on games-based library services
  • A scalable Digital Toolkit for implementation
  • National convenings and shared learning opportunities
  • Practical resources designed for real-world library environments
