About the Author :
Tom Bruno is Adjunct Assistant Curator of Access, Delivery & Resource Sharing Services at the NYU Division of Libraries. In his 2014 book “Wearable Technology: From Smart Watches to Google Glass” he explored how libraries can introduce new technologies and incorporate them into the patron experience, including gaming through both augmented and virtual reality. Tom has a B.A. from Boston University in Ancient Greek and Latin and a Master’s in Library and Information Science from Simmons College. In his previous position as Director of Knowledge Curation and Innovation at The Westport Library he has supported gaming at his library programmatically- from collection development for games to programming gaming events and promoting gaming as experiential learning in the Westport Library MakerSpace. A lifelong gamer himself, Tom is an amateur game designer as well. He enjoys board gaming with his library colleagues, has played Catan at the competitive level and has been running a continuous Dungeons and Dragons campaign since graduating high school in 1990. He is also a devotee of the 1986 cult classic (and alas, out of print) board game Fireball Island by Milton Bradley.

Review :
Bruno's book Gaming Programs for All Ages at the Library is not only a must have resource for anyone working in public libraries today, but it also manages to accomplish a key element of gaming within its pages....the book is fun! Tom's writing style, coupled with his deep knowledge about gaming and his enthusiasm for community first service, gives the reader a fun read while they also immerse themselves in all things gaming.
