Libraries will offer a variety of activities throughout the day, including modern board games, traditional games (such as chess and checkers) and two national video game tournaments that will pit players at dozens of libraries against each other for bragging rights to the ultimate Rock Band and Super Smash Bros. Brawl crowns.
Although it doesn't explicitly say RPGs, I'd just like to point out that big, beautiful, blue dodecahedron in the logo. :)
North Star Games, makers of Wits and Wagers is a cosponsor and will be providing copies to libraries to let attendees try out the game. Library supplier DEMCO is also a sponsor.

Heh, I'm envious of you now. In my neck of the woods, here in merrie England, the library actually charges for the use of rooms and it's not cheap. I put a poster up on the library noticeboard (administered by the local council) to advertise Old School D&D and it vanished a couple of weeks later. I put another poster up and the same thing happened.
So a library that goes out of its way to organise something for gamers and lays on facilities for them to advertise and get their game on...
Well, like I said, envious.
Daddy G, that bites! Here in the US we tend to be more lax, but then we also close lots of libraries. :(
This one flew right under my radar. I just went and got drunk like every Saturday night!
