Games for Everyone

Yesterday Susan Knisely, Online Services Librarian, and I were in Scottsbluff for the NEBASE Annual Meeting West. We had a great day presenting sessions and sharing information with library staff from the Panhandle. One of the day’s topics was gaming in the library and a lot of it focused on using games to bring teens, especially, young boys, into the library. Just before lunch I received an email from another co-worker about a YouTube video showing seniors enjoying have a ball at a bowling tournament. But this was not just any bowling tournament it was a Wii bowling tournament. It was a great example to show everyone that video games aren’t just for the younger generation. Maybe your library could set up Wii bowling for seniors, family teams, or kids. Take a look and let us know what you think.
