Just fun and games? Video Games generate more revenue globally than the music and movie industries combined. They immerse players in worlds where their only goal ranges from 'kill everything in sight' to 'save all that you can'. They're used by brands, marketers, non-profits, charities, and politicians to spread messages and shape opinions. They're a tool for learning and for radicalization. And they represent a new form of labor that captures everything from multimillion dollar streaming deals to exploitative practices in the Global South.They're games, and they're serious stuff. Dr. Jolene Fisher (APRD) Dr. Jolene Fisher is Associate Professor in the Department of Advertising, Public Relations and Design. Her research explores intersections of new media, gender and strategic communication for development and social change.This event is not hosted by the Boulder Public Library and may be updated, changed, or canceled with little notice.

Participating children will practice reading one-on-one with a therapy dog, allowing them to take ownership of the process, make mistakes, build confidence, and develop self-reliance without an audience—key ingredients in growing as a confident reader. In our small study rooms, the therapy dogs are best equipped to work with individual school-aged readers. Caregivers and siblings are welcome to sit in a chair directly outside the room. Page and Paws takes place on the first, second, and third Wednesday of the month.

Participating children will practice reading one-on-one with a therapy dog, allowing them to take ownership of the process, make mistakes, build confidence, and develop self-reliance without an audience—key ingredients in growing as a confident reader. In our small study rooms, the therapy dogs are best equipped to work with individual school-aged readers. Caregivers and siblings are welcome to sit in a chair directly outside the room. Page and Paws takes place on the first, second, and third Wednesday of the month.
