Litcraft in Libraries - Two New Regions, 13 June 2019

June 18, 2019 | james

We are very pleased to share that two more regional county library services have joined up with us to run Litcraft sessions - thanks to the tireless efforts of Chloe Reynolds and Daniel Clark.  Joining the trio that have been rolling out Litcraft for nearly a year now (with excellent results, judging from the feedback dilligently collected by the admins) are Somerset and Devon - hoorays!

Sally and James were invited down to Taunton to run a training session for local staff, and despite the horrific weather were really happy to see so many people enthused about the project. It was a really fun session, with many of the participants having at least a little knowledge about Minecraft, but the extent to which everyone engaged with the lessons was a delight to behold. Especially as the genuine question 'why do I need these gold nuggets - I can't eat them!'. The exact sort of engagement we have striven for from the start. So keen are they, we will be sending an extra few boxes down to allow several sessions to run simultaneously. We are incredibly excited to see how things turn out, especially as it will complement the huge digital push planned by Libraries Unlimited nicely. And we are on track to hopefully announce even more partnerships soon...
