Every once in a while companies will offer free items, such as games, books, posters, bookmarks, etc. for libraries. ALA partners with Hasboro yearly for National Gaming Day and Hasboro donates board games to libraries that agree to participate in gaming events on this day. The following is another example of a company that offers donations to libraries. Look for offers such as these in library journals and listservs.
Fantasy-Themed Programming
Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasboro, is offering librarians and educators a free program to inspire fantasy-themed programming. "Afternoon Adventures with Dungeons & Dragons" includes the basic board game of Dungeons & Dragons (a role-playing game set in a fantasy world for ages 12 and up), instructions for hosting D&D group sessions in the library, a guide to how the program can encourage library use, reading lists, and more. To find out more go to wizards.com; request the kit by emailing libraries@wizards.com.
