Hosting a Game Night during the first week of classes and using Game Night to alleviate Library Anxiety in Generation Z - this poster session will demonstrate how libraries can leverage quiet study evenings before finals to coincide with game nights. Having these two events together helps the student relax during midterms and finals and brings new students to the library where they meet library staff in a relaxed setting. Having this setting as a first or near first experience with the library helps to alleviate issues Generation Z may have in regards to library anxiety.
