Zombies, cardboard, and coffee

How does a regional library go about exploring the wild side of library programming? Our Creative in Residence Matt Finch spoke with the ABC’s Chrissy Arthur in Rockhampton last year about libraries as magical places of adventure, experience, and participation.

If you fancy running your own zombie roleplay event – or adapting the roleplay mechanics to suit a different theme – there’s an extensive zombie library literature (!) including:

Reference and User Services Quarterly –  “Less Like A Library and More Like An Adventure: Learning, Libraries, and the Zombie Apocalypse”

Zombies at the Tullamore Public Library (including how-to kit)

ABC video – Zombies invade western NSW

School Library Journal – “Why Are Zombies So Good For Libraries?”
