=== Play and Share in the Conference Hotel, Wednesday, March 9th ===
'''18:00-21:30'''
 
A large space in the conference hotel will be available for conference attendees to gather and socialize, play games and share goodies. We will be providing tables and chairs for Board Game Night ([https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Y9Iz_tLu6j0gUAeq3iVWQTdSAIDOFaJryzswXF41tgs/edit#gid=0 list of games being brought]), and some attendees are planning to organize an acoustic jam session. You are also welcome to bring stuff to share, from craft sodas and beers to baked goods to local treats ([https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=%23cannoli4lib&src=typd #cannoli4lib]).
 
Beer/drink activities will be in Hamilton. Boardgames are in Bromely/Claypoole (if you want quiet) or in Hamilton with the music/drinks.
 
If you would like to play, sing, or just request a song (Board Game Night folks might want to do this!) put title and lyrics here (if you can get chords, awesome, but optional):
