The State Library of Victoria is not only one of the state's oldest and most esteemed cultural institutions, but it's got game, too.

At the end of the month, the library is holding a Games and Gamers forum at Experimedia featuring Puzzle Quest creator Steve Fawkner, Monash University's resident gaming expert Brett Hutchins, founder of the Dissecta forums Tim Richards, and some other bloke who writes a blog.
