We're at the early stages, with a pilot session planned for 19 April. Having spoken to the very helpful librarian at Darien County, we're going to have a LAN party at Walton library, one of our largest. We've found a volunteer who is going to provide a server and the necessary equipment, we're going to get people to donate a handful of Minecraft licences, and we're going to invite young people from 8 to 16 to participate (and bring their own devices, if they have them. We have some elderly laptops we can use, too.) We've got a practice session planned on 26 March - wish us luck!

We're in the very early stages of looking into the feasibility of running Minecraft sessions in our libraries, but we don't really know what works and what doesn't. Does anyone have any experience of using Minecraft in activity sessions? The only reports I can find of it being used are in the US. All experiences (good and bad) would be welcomed!
