Choose Your Adventure is back! Choose Your Adventure is a collaborative storytelling activity using real history and materials from the CA History collection of the CA State Library. Loosely inspired by tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, Choose Your Adventure is both fun and educational. All you need to participate: a 20-sided die (which we provide), a little bit of history (also provided by us), and your imagination! This activity is available Wednesdays in December (excluding the 25th) at 2-3:30PM. Sign up for a timeslot on your own to meet new people or attend as a group!

In honor of #InternationalGamesmonth, why not try some game-based learning activities in your library or classroom? Maybe Choose Your Adventure? This educational programming is a game-based learning activity utilizing real history and materials from the California History collection and collaborative storytelling. The public may have seen this in action at previous Museum Days and Archives Crawls. Librarians and other educators often ask how they can run this programming themselves. We can now point them to the Choose Your Adventure webpage! On it, you'll find steps for adventure creation as well as guides for running pre-made adventures. The guide for the Central Valley Adventure (aka combating the octopus) is now up with the other guides coming soon. ? https://lnkd.in/gzthn7St

A recent large request sent the California Research Bureau on an exploration of California’s population density data, yielding some insights that might be useful to the larger policymaking community. Using that data, the California Research Bureau has developed a new tool to help policymakers better understand California’s population density distribution, including data by legislative district and county. Read our latest CRB Quick Hit, describing the tool and our findings here: https://lnkd.in/g3AGmXWJ Or access the tool here: https://lnkd.in/gYYJi4u9

In early October, the first time in 100 years, salmon were observed swimming past the sites of former dams as they migrated from the ocean into the Klamath River. This was made possible by the removal of dams that previously blocked salmon from completing their historic migration. Interested in learning more? Join the California History Section for their next Speaker Series virtual talk, Toward a Decolonial Future: Klamath River Temporary Dams with Dr. Brittani Orona on Wednesday, November 13 at 4PM. With the four dams removed, this talk will explore the relationship of the lower Klamath River and how Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk story and ceremony intertwine on the Basin to build a new, decolonial future for the river itself. The event is free but requires registration. For more information and to register, visit https://lnkd.in/gs5APN6Y?.
