When implementing a gaming program or event at your library, it is important to take a well-planned, goal-oriented approach. In order to justify using public resources for gaming, it is crucial to document the evolution of the program and the allocation of resources. This chapter looks of “Gaming in Libraries: Learning Lessons from the Intersections” at how a group of librarians in Nebraska ran into some controversy while attempting to broaden what had been a successful gaming program at one library.
