Engage in some role-play: strap a backpack vacuum cleaner on your back, head out into the stacks and play Ghostbusters on those scarily dusty shelves!

Play a game of 'telephone' and see how long your library can last without translating it into "Kitty" "ICanHazCheezburger", or anything else cat related.
A quick round of Name that Patron brings us together. "You know that smelly guy?..." -"The tall one or short one?"

Librarians should routinely participate in team-building games with their library colleagues to increase morale around the workplace. Some suggestions:
Play "Pin the Security Tape on the Hateful Patron"
Give one another "Date Due"-stamp tattoos
Do "trust falls" from the Circulation Desk
Host a book truck demolition derby
Play Dodge-Book (i.e., throwing books at one another)
Ask the Readers: What are your suggestions for library-themed team building games?

Cooperative copier-unjamming.
Also, synchronized stapling.

As a warm up, play "Have you ever" with coworkers to learn about all the not work appropriate activities that they've done in the library.

Playing the dozens at the reference desk...Who can insult a patron the worst?
