Pokemon Go sends swarms of players to bookstores and libraries. But will they remember the books?

Strand communications director Whitney Hu told PR Week she wasn’t worried about the increased traffic caused by players hoping to get their virtual hands on a Bulbasaur. “[T]here is so much room to run around and find corners that we haven’t had that conversation yet,” she said. “Most of our employees know more about it than our managers do, anyway.”

Libraries are also seeing an uptick of visitors because of the game. Some, like Cincinnati are posting pictures of the creatures on their Instagram feeds.
