Gaming at the Library.
I Think gaming at the library is a great idea! Why are we not doing it already? Table-top or video does not matter to me, what matters to me is pulling in the age group to the library in any way possible. I think as with anything the library offers we will hear from both sides. Let each side make their own decision to allow their teen to participate or not. We have always heard from parents in regards to our open access when their child checks out an "R" movie. It is not our decision to allow or not allow involvement in a gaming program, but we could at least offer it. I have not experienced gaming in a library but I think we should give it a try. I actually agree in some ways that we need to have these extra options for this age group. I feel that we have what the older and younger generation want, but the teen years require something different. I want the "popularity" to be library related. I want more teens in here for something other than "my space" and the basic internet use. I say let's give "gaming at the library" a go!
