Critical Hit! DnD Programming in the Library

With the rise of Stranger Things, Critical Role, and the general acceptance of nerd culture, D&D is experiencing an explosion in popularity. So how can libraries (and librarians) capitalize on this new-found interest, promote their collections, boost their programming, AND get kids excited? By hosting simple D&D campaigns, of course! Join Children’s Librarian Molly Virello as she guides you through the (not-as-epic-as-you’d-think) quest to host D&D programs at your library. She will suggest quick guides and materials to get started, lay out simple rules, and help you figure out how to run your own campaign. Learn from her mistakes so you can succeed! Time permitting, she may even demonstrate her Dungeon Master skills, set the scene, and use a few volunteers from the audience to play a few rounds of one of the campaigns she used at her library to give participants a taste of the fun such a program can create
