NYPLarcade: Fall 2016
What?
NYPLarcade is an opportunity to play and discuss independent, experimental, and thought-provoking games at the Library. Think of it as a book club, but for video games.
Who?
These events should interest teens, students, artists, designers, librarians, and anyone who loves video games.
Also, if you teach at a MyLibraryNYC school, we can often schedule a date to bring games and hardware to your school library or classroom as part of an outreach visit.
When?
Our fall series takes place on the last Wednesday of every month from August to November. Play begins at 6 p.m. and is followed by a discussion starting around 7 p.m.
Where?
All events listed below will take place at Jefferson Market Library in Greenwich Village, located at 425 Avenue of the Americas between 9th and 10th Street. We meet in the first floor Willa Cather Community Room and admission is free and open to the public.
Please download official NYPLarcade flyers here. You can also follow us on Twitter (@nyplarcade) or join our mailing list for updates on upcoming events.
