If you stopped in to Andersen Library anytime this past\nweek, you might have been wondering why there was a bunch of life-sized games\nin the main entrance of the library. No, no \u2013 you didn\u2019t fall down a rabbit\nhole and shrink down in size like Alice did before she entered Wonderland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This entire last week, Andersen Library celebrated International\nGames Week (IGW)! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IGW is an initiative facilitated by volunteers all around the world to reconnect communities through their libraries centered around the recreational and educational value of a many types of games. Here at UW-W, IGW at Andersen Library provided students multiple opportunities throughout the week to play games and learn creatively. On Tuesday, November 5th<\/sup> from 4:45 to 6:00 p.m., students participated in a virtual reality event and tested out the Oculus Go headset. Andersen also partnered with UW-W\u2019s Video Game Club and Warhawk Alley to host a Mario Kart tournament on Thursday, November 7th<\/sup> which featured the Nintendo Switch and the Mario Kart 8-Delux playing game. Students were able to play all week long through a number of life-sized games set up in the library including chess, scrabble, checkers, connect-four, carpet bowling, tic-tac-toe, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
