[game_preservation] List of libraries/archives that take donations?

[Devin Monnens]

Yeah, Child's Play would be a good place to coordinate with on that one,
once all the other materials are distributed. Another thing might be to
look at after school programs, daycares, etc. in the area that could
benefit from these, but wouldn't Child's Play have a good network of them
as well?

Out of curiosity, is this just software, or are there dev materials,
advertising, etc. in there as well?
