PARIS — Participants will be able to enjoy a variety of card, dice and board games when the Paris Public Library becomes a host site for International Game Day from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21.

National Game Day started in 2007 as an attempt to set a world record for the number of people playing the same game at the same time. Sponsored in part by the American Library Association, the celebration became International Game Day in 2012 with events now held on seven continents. Each year, a growing number of game publishers donate tabletop games and access to video games to hundreds of libraries for this event.

Among the benefits of playing games are bonding players, improving problem-solving skills, and teaching logic, cooperation and social skills.

All ages are invited to join in this free program.
