International Games Month (IGM) started out as National Games Day in 2007. The free one-day event was inspired by an attempt to set a world record for the number of people playing the same game at the same time at libraries around the world. Since its inception, over 54 countries and territories on all 7 continents have celebrated.

International Games Month is hosted by volunteers from libraries from the following organizations around the world

  • American Library Association
  • Australian Library and Information Association
  • Finish Libraries
  • L'Associazione Italiana Biblioteche
  • Nordic Libraries
