• The Washington Secretary of State's office announced that public libraries across the state have received Dungeons & Dragons box sets and funding through a grant program. The program aims to provide resources and support for libraries to offer tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) programs, which can foster community engagement, literacy development, and critical thinking skills among participants.

• The grant program, funded by the Secretary of State's office, has distributed over 1,000 Dungeons & Dragons box sets to libraries throughout Washington. These sets include the core rulebooks, dice, and other materials needed to run D&D campaigns, making it easier for libraries to start or expand their TTRPG offerings.

• The funding provided through the grant program also allows libraries to purchase additional TTRPG resources, such as books, accessories, and gaming supplies, as well as to host events and workshops related to these games. This support helps libraries create inclusive and engaging programming that can appeal to a wide range of community members, from youth to adults.
