# Library Webinars

At Green Door Labs, we host seasonal webinars to answer questions for our game building or game curious librarians. From how to perform user testing, what is the Edventure Builder platform anyway to case studies of librarians using the builder for FYE and Library Orientation activities. Have an idea for an upcoming webinar? Let us know!

### **NO TIME!! DESIGN ON A (TIME) BUDGET**

Sure libraries and nonprofits have no budget, but librarians are also short on TIME!!! Fear not, it doesn’t take a week’s worth of 3 staff to make a fun game. In fact, we think if you’re smart about it, even a total game design newbie can build a very solid game in 10 hours or less.
