Digital and analog games have long served modern public libraries
as educational tools and as drawcards for new patrons - from
dedicated gaming zones and children's spaces to Minecraft gaming
days, makerspaces, and virtual reality collections. Much has been
written about the role of games and play in libraries' programming
and collections. But their wider role in transforming libraries as
public institutions remains unexplored. In this book, the authors
draw on ethnographic research to provide a rich portrait of the
intersection between games, play, and public libraries. They look
at how games and play are increasingly spilling out of designated
zones within libraries and beyond their walls, as part of a broader
reconfiguration and "reimagining" of libraries in the digital era.
The library's association with play has historically been
understood through its classification as a "third place" somewhere
to relax, socialise and experiment outside of the utilitarian
demands of work and home. But far from just offering patrons an
opportunity for detached leisure, this book illustrates how
libraries are connecting games and play to policies agendas around
their municipality's economic and cultural development. Attending
to the institutionalisation of play, the book sheds new light both
on the contradictions at the heart of play as a theoretical
concept, and what libraries are in contemporary public life.

From the team behind Computer Science for Fun (cs4fn), The Power of
Computational Thinking shows that learning to think can be
fascinating fun.Yes, and this book shows you how.Computational
thinking has changed the way we all live, work and play. It has
changed the way science is done too; won wars, created whole new
industries and saved lives. It is at the heart of computer
programming and is a powerful approach to problem solving, with or
without computers. It is so important that many countries now
require that primary school children learn the skills.Professors
Paul Curzon and Peter McOwan of Queen Mary University of London
have written a unique and enjoyable introduction. They describe the
elements of computational thinking - such as algorithmic thinking,
decomposition, abstraction and pattern matching - in an
entertaining and accessible way, using magic tricks, games and
puzzles, as well as through real and challenging problems that
computer scientists work on.This book gives you a head start in
learning the skills needed for coding, and will improve your real
life problem solving skills. It will help you design and evaluate
new technologies, as well as understand both your own brain and the
digital world in a deeper way.
