I know that things are not a lot better here in the States. My son's elementary school had a big library, right in the center of the school. There were empty shelves in it. I can't even imagine how that happens. Every child I know loves checking books out of the library.AHunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148857673973402238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913781535186283982.post-10101460394414354132014-04-27T16:57:10.953-06:002014-04-27T16:57:10.953-06:00Now to see what people make of it.

I had a regular weekly mob of 8-10 boys, but interestingly they didn't want Games Workshop due to the huge costs involved - entirely understandably. Hence D&D.

There's more I could do, and the least of it is making sure there is something in the library for those kids to stumble across.AHunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148857673973402238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913781535186283982.post-61114442929265524842014-04-27T10:16:48.642-06:002014-04-27T10:16:48.642-06:00Superb idea!

In the UK, they put on games in libraries or museum and allow walk ups. I share my love of this hobby with anyone I meet but I could step it up.

I don't know of a single club at any school near here, but the local library could benefit from this.AHunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148857673973402238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913781535186283982.post-50591351454804539962014-04-27T09:55:04.311-06:002014-04-27T09:55:04.311-06:00Good idea!
