Congratulations to the Providence Community Library and its Minecraft program, which provided the winning team in the International Games Day Minecraft Hunger Games. Just last week PCL’s Ed Graves, manager of the Rochambeau Library, was talking about the value of gaming in libraries at OLIS’ Continuing Education program, Exploring the New Normal: Trends in Library Services. Ed co-presented with Emily Brown from Cranston Public Library, which also has a popular Minecraft program. Minecraft is the one of the most popular video games of all time, with millions of users worldwide.
The PCL team was the only RI team to enter the event. Read about their success in today’s Providence Journal.
