WA State Library

At ALA 2025 in Philadelphia, Washington State Library presented
"Back to Full Hit Points: Regenerating Community Well-Being
with Tabletop Role-Playing Games in Libraries"

Utilizing state and federal funding they initiated a statewide program in public libraries focused on engaging patrons with TTRPG activities

Activities included play sessions, but also professional development for library staff and hands on things like resin dice making

They connected these activities and grant making
to the 2023 Surgeon General report on loneliness.

Our public library colleagues can be great allies!
